Miss Fortune Mystery (ff) - Jewel Of The Bayou - Plot & Excerpts
The engine choked and died with a loud bang as it gave a final backfire, and the truck jerked to a stop. It didn’t take a small explosion to get Mrs. Langstrom’s attention, though. I imagined she had been keeping an eye on us from the moment we had turned off the main road, and the twitch of a curtain confirmed my opinion. She was well aware that we were there.“I’d better go in first,” I said.“Nonsense,’ said Ida Belle. “Gertie will go with you.”“Oh she will, will she!” Gertie said as she opened her door and stepped out. “We’re all going. You’ve come along this far, Ida Belle. No backing out now.”“That’ll teach me to get into a pickup truck with you,” Ida Belle said.“If you haven’t learned that lesson by now, you never will,” Gertie said. “Now come on!”We all trooped up to the rambling Victorian like girl scouts selling cookies, and I tapped on the door before opening it and going inside.“I’m back, Mrs. Langstrom! And these lovely ladies were nice enough to give me a ride.”There was a moment of silence, and then a soft thud as the door to the parlor was thrown open, hitting the heavy velvet curtain draped behind it.
