by Alexander McCall Smith, 2002
A rival detective agency run by a man, The Satisfaction Guaranteed Detective Agency, opens up. Mma Ramotswe is visited by a man who has deep regrets about 2 things he did as a young man: got a girl pregnant and stole a radio to sell so she would have an abortion. He asks Mma Ramotswe to find the people so he can apologize and make amends.
Mma Makutsi needs more money so she opens The Kalahari Typing School for Men. It meets in a church. One of the men falls in love with her. She likes him too. He tells her he is divorced. His wife comes to Mma Ramotswe because she suspects he is having an affair. Mma Ramotswe finds out he is seeing Mma Makutsi. She visits the man at his flat and gets him to go back to his wife and do so without hurting Mma Makutsi, and without Mma Makutsi ever knowing he was married and that Mma Ramotswe knew anything about it.
Beautiful, sweet, precious.
