The Truth According To Us (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
For a little while, anyway. We were at the breakfast table, Miss Beck and I, when Father steamed into the kitchen, kicking up a ruckus about where was his hat, he was late, he couldn’t find his hat. Jottie found it, of course, but as Father was leaving, Miss Beck asked, “Where are you off to, in such a hurry?” “Got to see a man about a horse,” he said, and laughed. Then he rushed off, happy and kind of fizzing, the way he got sometimes when he was going out on business. Miss Beck watched him go. Then she turned to me. “What do you suppose that means?” I gave her my blankest look. “Maybe he likes horses.” She nodded and went on chewing her toast, but her face fell into thoughtfulness. I didn’t like it a bit. I was beginning to think that Miss Beck might be just as much of a natural-born sneak as I was. Later, I went to gather up the mail. I was generally the one who brought the mail in and set it on the hall table. I saw this as an opportunity for a little mild snooping.
