Princess in Disguise (2015)
“After climbing stairs that were so steep and shallow that the toes of her shoes barely fit on the step, she was glad to be on a level floor again.
She almost tripped over Liam when he stopped suddenly and bent down to lift a stone out of the floor, revealing a hole as big as his fist. “What is that?” she asked.
“This looks down through the ceiling in the great hall. You can’t see much from here, but it’s surprising how much you can hear. Hold on. Let me listen.”
Liam held his ear close to the o...pening for nearly a minute before he sat back and shook his head. “It seems there’s nothing to hear—no talking or footsteps or snoring or anything. I don’t think anyone is down there, which is very unusual. Let’s go check the kitchen.”
They descended another narrow set of stairs and reached a short corridor that smelled strongly of old smoke and stale food. Annie found the skeleton of a dead rat in the middle of the floor and stepped around it. When she heard a scraping sound, she thought it was another rat, but it was Liam taking the cover off a tiny peephole.MoreLess
