The 100-Year-Old Secret
“No way!” Xena swung around and looked where Xander was pointing. But the girl had vanished into a crowd, and when the bus passed the corner where Xander had last seen her, there was no girl and no purple hat.
“You're nuts,” Xena said. “Or barmy, as they say here. I think you've lost what little mind you ever had, brother dear.”
“But she was there! I saw her!”
“Xander, you couldn't have seen her. The model would be more than a hundred years old. You must have imagined it. Or you just saw some kid in a purple rain hat.”
“It wasn't a rain hat! It was one of those hats with ribbons and flowers, like old ladies wear.” Xander kept his nose pressed to the window, but it was no use. The girl was gone.
“This is our stop,” Xena said, and Xander got up and went through the door after her, stepping down into a puddle. Great, he thought as he followed her.
A bell tinkled as they opened the door to the gallery. The man at the desk nodded at them as they came in, and then went back to his news-paper.
