L58-2: A spot of bother
Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves,
but then she decided that at her age it might be more prudent to have someone with her,
so she went to fetch the porter from his basement.
By this time her legs were beginning to tremble,
so she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea,
while he telephoned the police.
Then,
her composure regained,
she was ready to set off with the porter's assistance to search for any intruders who might still belurking in her flat.
They went through the rooms,
being careful to touch nothing,
as they did not want to hinder the police in their search for fingerprints.
The chaos was inconceivable.
She had lived in the flat for thirty years and was averitable magpie at hording: and it seemed as though everything she possessed had been tossed out and turned over and over.
At least sorting out the things she should have discarded years ago was now being made easier for her.
