Another person who acted particularly upset was Lee Woosley’s daughter, Peggy Neighbors. Myrtle raised her eyebrows at that. Hadn’t Lee told her that Peggy was starting to date Dr. Bass? Why was she so upset about Charles Clayborne’s death?
But as soon as the service was over, Myrtle became the attraction, much to her annoyance. Whatever else interesting that was taking place, was happening outside the sphere of the gaggle of busybodies that were crowding around her.
“I’ve got to get back home and put the food out,” she said quickly, before someone else could fit in a question. She grasped her cane, half-seriously considering beating her way out of the gawking gaggle with the stick. Fortunately, the crowd parted before her and she was able to make her way out of the cemetery.
