Philip And The Fortune Teller (9781619501317) - Plot & Excerpts
“Maybe,” Emery offered, “we should think up a story and stick to it. We were at the circus, and then we met your father, and that’s that.” “And when they ask us how our fingerprints got on the jewelry box and in the old lady’s garage? Go on. Finish the story.” Emery couldn’t. “Look,” said Philip, “we gotta do something to get the jewelry box back to the lady so there’s no need for any investigation.” Emery stopped walking. “Philip! Let’s tell the police where the jewelry box is. In the gypsy’s tent!” “Good, you go tell them. I’ll wait for you in Mrs. Logan’s bushes and never come out again.” “No, on the telephone.” “The telephone?” “Sure. We call them and tell them where the jewelry box is, only we don’t say who we are. They get the jewelry box, arrest the gypsy and the pharaoh, and they don’t even have to worry about fingerprints or anything. The gypsy doesn’t know who we are really. Just two kids.” Philip saw possibilities.
