“He knew before he even got to the bottom of the stairs that Jonathan wasn’t down there. The house had that funny echoing sound that houses get when nobody else is around. Jonathan’s black cane with the crystal knob was gone from the blue Willoware vase beside the front door. The cane was his magic wand, and if it was missing, then Jonathan had taken it for some purpose. Searching through the house, Lewis found a note on the kitchen table: Hi, Lewis— Mrs. Zimmermann and I have to run a couple of... errands and check a few things out. If I’m not back until late, don’t worry. I’ll explain later. There’s some roast beef in the refrigerator that you can heat up for dinner with a can of vegetable soup. I hope your head is feeling better. If something very important had not come up, I’d never leave you alone like this. You can call Dr. Humphries if you’re feeling worse. His office and home telephone numbers are written on the inside back cover of the phone book. I hope to be back before midnight!MoreLessRead More Read Less
