Dotty’s Suitcase
“Dotty set off in the direction the black car had taken. Some days she could whistle pretty good. This wasn’t one of them. The sound that came from between her pursed lips was a dismal sighing sound that might’ve been a lot of things, none of them “The Rose of Tralee.”

She had known it wouldn’t work. “Oh, all right,” she said. “Come on. But it’s a waste o...f time.”

Dotty thumped her fists on her hips.
“You ever hear of Sally Rand?”
“Nope.”
“She dances bare at the World’s Fair.” If that didn’t take Jud’s mind off the robbers, nothing would.MoreLess
