The White Elephant Mystery (1950)
“Mrs. Williams had made them rest for a half hour after luncheon so that there wouldn’t be any danger that they would get cramps when they went swimming. “Maybe it’s an old-fashioned idea,” she told them, “but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“Phew!” Djuna puffed as they reached the Hamilton Block, “I’m bushed. Do you want to pedal for a while?”
“Sure,” Tommy said, and Djuna came to a halt beside the curb across from the Dolphin Beach Bank. “But let’s go over and see Bobby Herrick first.”
“Wh...o’s he?” Djuna wanted to know.
“A kid I go to school with,” said Tommy. “He’s my best friend down here. He’s making some extra money during vacation as a pin-boy over at the bowling alleys.”
“Okay with me,” Djuna said. “Can we go in to see him? I’ve never been inside a bowling alley.”
“Oh, sure,” Tommy said. They parked Tommy’s bicycle at the curb and darted across the street while the light on the corner was red.
Djuna was dazzled by the streamlined chromium trim and the fluorescent lighting as Tommy led him into the bowling alleys.MoreLess
