So Enchanting
“ The day only got worse after that.
Amelie was still not speaking to her after she’d roundly chastised the girl for disappearing into Little Firkin yesterday, only to return hours later glowing like a candelabra. Fanny had been about to start down the road to Little Firkin when she’d spied Amelie and Ploddy making their way back to the house. When they’d reached her, she’d given the girl a sharp dressing-down, even though she knew she was being unreasonable. Amelie had always enjoyed free rein... of the town. What could she do—keep Amelie prisoner at Quod Lamia until the author of the letter had been revealed? And what if that never happened? The letter had been dated three weeks previous, and in the interim nothing unusual had happened.
But as she performed her morning’s toilette, she kept seeing Oglethorpe’s livid face. Could Oglethorpe have gone dotty? Reportedly, in the last few years his sermons had grown even more rabid. And really, he needn’t have gone dotty to be at the root of this mystery; he needed only for someone else to think he was dotty.MoreLess
