Amy Patricia Meade - Marjorie McClelland 02 - Ghost Of A Chance - Plot & Excerpts
Marjorie ran to the large walnut secretary where she kept the sonorous black instrument and picked up the receiver. “Hello?”“Hello,” the operator replied. “Long distance for Miss Marjorie McClelland.”“This is Miss McClelland.”“Thank you, Miss McClelland. Please hold while I connect your call.”“Good afternoon,” came a clipped British accent through the line. “Is this the McClelland Detective Agency? This is Cedric St. John Snell, the World Class Tiddlywinks Champion. I require your services in the recovery of a missing object: my fiddly. I awoke this morning and it had disappeared, which is rather puzzling since my winks are still intact.” Marjorie grinned and played along, glad to hear that Creighton was back to his old tricks. “What about your marbles? Do you still have them, or have you lost those, too?”“My marbles? Oh, I lost those a long time ago. This loss occurred quite recently. Although I do seem to recollect a small tornado crossing my path yesterday evening, or perhaps it was more like a small hurricane-as I recall it did have a female name.
