The Harriet Bean 3-Book Omnibus (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
said the new aunt, “I could tell that you were uncertain which one I was.” I went forward and shook hands with Aunt Thessalonika. She had a kind face, and I knew at once that I was going to like her. The only problem, of course, was her mind reading. Could she really tell what people were thinking? And if she could, then I’d have to be very careful not to think about anything rude. That’s very difficult, you know. Just you try it. Imagine that somebody else, maybe your best friend, could tell what was in your mind, and imagine that you knew it. The very first thing you’ll think about is something that you wouldn’t want her to know you were thinking about, and this happens even if you weren’t thinking about it before. “Don’t worry,” said Aunt Thessalonika, as if she knew exactly what was on my mind. “I don’t read minds all the time. I find it a bit exhausting, you see, so I only use my powers at work.” “Your aunt Thessalonika is a detective,” explained Aunt Majolica.
