The Body Thief (2010)
The Body Thief
“Isabella popped her head out and looked up and down the corridor. No one around. She stepped out of her room, quiet as a mouse, and moved along the hall.
Winding down the grand staircase Isabella angrily pulled a large cloth bag from beneath her dressing gown. The object of her fury was Milo Winterbottom. How dare he ignore her in the garden…and to tell a lumpy creature like Hannah Spoon that she looked pretty was practically criminal!
Isabella picked up a small bronze clock from a long... table on the first-floor landing and slipped it into the bag. Hadn’t she gone out of her way to welcome Milo when he arrived at Sommerset? Of course she had! And hadn’t she hugged him dearly and told him how sad it was that his parents had been eaten by sharks? Oh, yes, she had! And didn’t she invite the poor orphan to go horse riding with her? Well…no. But she meant to, and that was practically the same thing!
Moving stealthily toward the drawing room, Isabella saw a shadow sliding across the far wall.MoreLess
