Best in Show
“I’d parked my car and taken Eve inside through the lobby, which was unexpectedly crowded. After a moment, I realized why. The morning’s symposium, held in a meeting room that opened off the entryway, was just ending. Aunt Peg was standing in the doorway as people left, handing out questionnaires for feedback, accepting congratulations for a job well done, and basking in Mary Ludlow Scott’s reflected glory.
I sidled over to where she stood. “I gather things went well?”
“Superb.” Peg was beaming.... “There were so many questions, the program ran long by an hour. Mary stayed at the podium until every single person got an answer. There’s barely time now for people to grab a quick lunch before the afternoon session starts. That’s why everyone’s in such a rush to get out.”
Maybe. Or perhaps the stampede had something to do with the fact that the expert was being followed by a charlatan. Not that I said as much, of course.
