Fortunately, time passed quickly as visitors continued to shop for books and souvenirs. About ten-thirty Sue appeared, a bit flushed from the uphill walk back from the lake but happy for the time spent outside. “It’s a beautiful morning,” She said as she shed her hat and day pack, “Give me a few minutes break, and I’ll relieve you. You’ll enjoy being outside.” She headed for the staff room in back. Lin began to count the receipts in the till to make sure things were balanced when Sue took over. Just as she completed this task she saw Mark Scott enter the building. She was almost sorry to be going out, perhaps Sue would be able to talk to him. Lin didn’t want to miss anything. Sue returned just as Lin was getting ready to leave. Pat had suggested that she walk the trail that led past the stables, under the Parkway, and out to the other side of the estate. The graves of the Cones were there, and it was a popular route for walkers. She stopped briefly on the porch to speak with the head ranger before heading out. Just then Mark came up beside her. “Walking trails this morning, I see. Would you like some company?”
