Lucy Eyelesbarrow was already famous in certain circles. Lucy was thirty-two and
a graduate of Oxford. She had a brilliant mind and had been expected to stay and become
a professor there. However, she knew that academic work was poorly paid. She had no wish
to teach, and she enjoyed contact with people much less brilliant than she was. She also
liked money. To gain money one must find something that rich people are willing to pay for.
She found out that there are few good housekeepers, and to the surprise of her friends, she
decided to become one.
Her success was immediate, and now she is well-known all over Britain. It was quite usual
for wives to say joyfully to their husbands, “It’ll be all right. We can go on that trip. I’ve got
Lucy to look after the place while we’re gone!” Everybody liked Lucy because the moment
she came into a house, all worry and hard work went out of it. She did everything. She
looked after elderly parents and young children, cooked, was wonderful with dogs and she
didn’t mind doing whatever people asked her to do. She even mopped the kitchen floor and
worked in the garden!
One of her rules was never to accept a contract for longer than two weeks. But, during
that time, your life was heaven. You could relax completely. Naturally, the need for her
services was huge, so she had been offered enormous sums to accept a permanent job. But
that wasn’t her dream. She didn’t book herself for more than six months ahead. She enjoyed
her life and the holidays she could afford to go on.
One day, Lucy got a letter from Miss Marple. They had met two years before when Miss
Marple’s doctor had arranged for Lucy to come and look after her when she was recovering
from pneumonia. Lucy read and re-read the letter. It said that Miss Marple had something
unusual for Lucy to do and wanted her to find a convenient place and time to discuss the
matter. It was hard for Lucy to make an immediate decision because she was fully booked.
But the word “unusual” encouraged her to call Miss Marple and suggest a meeting in
London. Miss Marple accepted the suggestion and on the following day they met. After
greeting each other warmly, Lucy said: “So tell me what it is you want me to do.”
“It’s very simple, really,” said Miss Marple. “Unusual, but simple. I want you to find the
body of a murdered woman.”
