When the sun rose early the next morning, I buried my head under my pillow. Our room faced the east and I could barely tolerate the harsh light that blasted through the thin curtains.

“I’ll meet you downstairs for breakfast,” Andrew said, leaving the room.

Once I was alone, I tried to formulate a plan of action. I’d sure like to see what Francine had to say about what happened last night. At least Lois seemed to be decent for the most part, but I wondered if she really wasn’t able to open the register, or was trained to not open it, even if being robbed. Not that it made much sense, since we could have lost our lives if the robbers had gotten antsy about it.

Since the bright sun just wouldn’t quit bothering me, I got up, made my way to the bathroom with my supplies and took a quick bath. As I rested back against the bathtub, all I could think about was how I missed modern things like television, cellular service, and a shower!

Today, I donned denim shorts and a white tee since I hoped we’d be able to explore the town a little more, with the cemetery as my first destination. I couldn’t wait to find out how old the tombstones were, or see if I could find any interesting names among them.

After I put my things away, Eleanor greeted me on my way out of the room. “Hello, there. The men are already downstairs.”

“I sure hope we won’t miss breakfast. I’m starving.”

We sauntered our way to the elevator, and once we were on our way down to the first floor, I couldn’t help but wonder—. “Hey, Eleanor. Have you ever wondered what would happen if we pushed the M button? I mean, would it actually take us down to the mine shafts that run under the hotel?”

“Beats me, but maybe we shouldn’t do that. I doubt it would work anyway, and I’d hate to miss another meal.”

Drat, but I really wanted to try it at least once. “But what if the missing family is down there trapped? We could really save the day here.”

“Is that what you want to do? Save the family just so you can get more recognition?”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I was just making a joke, is all. You’re right; we’ll try it another time, perhaps later. After breakfast.”

When the elevator came to a halt with jerk and screech of gears, Eleanor and I waltzed toward the dining room, joining Andrew and Mr. Wilson, but once again, they weren’t alone. Mrs. Barry and the bird sisters were also there, and it appeared that Mrs. Barry was already a bit tipsy and it was only ten o’clock.

“Heello,” Mrs. Barry slurred. “About time you girls got here.”

I smiled kindly as Bonnie came over with her pot of coffee, pouring us a cup. “Bring another cup for Mrs. Barry, please,” I said.

“I already have a cup,” Mrs. Barry grinned.

“Oh, I know, but you need a cup without any of your sauce.
