Mystery of the Stolen Sword (2011)
“That’s dreadful!” the owner of the antique store exclaimed. Mrs. Holmes was a round, short woman with wiry gray hair. “I would never knowingly sell stolen merchandise,” she told the Aldens. “I must call the police about this.”
“Mrs. Holmes,” Jessie said gently, “do you remember who brought the letter in?”
The owner sighed and looked around her store. “I have so many things in here,” she said wearily. “It’s hard to keep track of who brings in what. I buy most of my things at yard sales and aucti...ons, but I don’t believe that’s where the letter came from. I wish I could remember more. I really do. And I must apologize to Seymour.” Mrs. Holmes was wringing her hands.
“That letter would have come in recently,” Henry pointed out.
“Well, we don’t know that for sure,” Jessie reminded her brother. “Seymour doesn’t exactly know when the letters were stolen.”
“True,” Henry agreed. “But we think it was within the last month or so.”
“Seymour is also missing a stamp collection and a sword dating from the Civil War.MoreLess
