“The Aldens found Fran sitting in her workroom, a basket of flowers in front of her. Newspapers had been spread over a long table, and there was a thick phone book nearby. When Jessie tugged the old photographs from her pocket, Fran’s face broke into a smile.
“Well, you’ve made my day, Jessie. I knew I’d put these pictures somewhere for safekeeping, but I’d forgotten exactly where.” She slipped the envelope into her apron pocket with a happy sigh.
“And I found the old croquet set,” Benny reminded everyone.
Fran turned to him with a warm smile. “That was very helpful, too, Benny.”
The Aldens glanced around the sunny workroom. Metal file cabinets lined one wall. Wooden shelves filled with neatly-labeled shoe boxes stood against another wall. By the curtained window, there was a large desk cluttered with papers. In the corner, half hidden by a potted plant, phone books were piled high.
“I’ve never seen so many phone books!” Benny’s eyes were wide.
Fran threw her head back and laughed.
