Not the place a drab governess wishes to be when she’s wearing her second-best gown. —Miss Adelaide Putnam,Manor of Dark Dreams, p. 102 For the next week I managed to follow the schedule almost perfectly. The twins researched the matter thoroughly, and we started the goat care I’d promised Geoff. He was a little cool to me but very helpful to the twins. The silence between us was good progress, I told myself. After all, no way could one guy be interested in both a girl like Laurie and a girl like me. It just wasn’t possible. At our next scheduled dinner, Lady Buena Verde chastised us as expected for choosing a pet so unsuitable for the spa. Fortunately, we had figured out our defense and were ready when the salad course was cleared and the chicken was served and Mr. P—after a glance from Lady Buena Verde—cleared his throat and said, “I hear you decided on a goat as a pet?” He looked at me, but the twins and I had already decided that Triste should answer and Rienne should do the follow-up.
