Mrs Mary Lenehan
Outward appearance
Pixilated and prim, pursed lips, purple hair, slithery lapis dress, and shoes with diamante buckles. Fills in a typed sheet, smiling. Inside information
Now works as an EO in the Department of Transport office near Lambeth Bridge. Used to work with mass murderer Donald Nielsen. She has consented yet again to answer questions for another book.Mary has two boyfriends, both 50, one to pay the bills, the other a well hung Serb. They don't know about each other. She plies the first with drink until he passes out. Then she sees Marco, and after a bit of the other, she gets him drunk too, and slips back home.
What she is doing or thinking
Mary is writing terrible lies about Donald. She says that he slept in a coffin imported from Hungary. She writes that he brought curries for the office Christmas party in large pots, the very ones in which he cooked the heads of young boys. She smiles, thinking this is a lie. It is in fact the truth: she's told the story so many times she now thinks she made it up.Mary dropped in on Donald one night to find him very embarrassed. A sleepy young man grinned on the sofa. He was drugged, about to be killed. At the time, Mary was pleased that Donald had a sex life at all. Shame. Rather pretty.
She decides to tell the researcher that Nielsen was addicted to absinthe. Sometimes she confides giggling to friends that she didn't know Nielsen at all. But she did.
He reads what she writes.
