That left poor Nora alone, struggling with all the bags. Suddenly, one of the bags slipped from her hands and tumbled back onto the sidewalk.

I rushed over to her. “Here. Let me help you.”

“Thanks.” she said.

We managed to strap several pieces of luggage over our shoulders and hold the rest by the handles. The bags were under control. But I made no move to enter the hotel. I wanted to talk more with this girl—and we just stood on the blazing-hot sidewalk. “Do you travel with your aunt all the time?” I finally asked.

“This isn’t vacation for me,” Nora said, I’m working for her during the summer holiday. I’ kind of her secretary. I type up her notes. At least it gives me a chance to check out the King Tut exhibit close up.”

“Are you an Egyptologist?” I asked.

“It runs in my family,” she said and then, her eyes met mine. “Kind of the way detective skills run in yours.”

“How do you know that?”

“I read THE INSPECTOR, and Ms. Pinkerton talks about your family all the time. She’s very proud of you,” Nora said, “And, of course, I’m interested in the work she does. I would love to talk to you more about it. Maybe over a soda or something?”

I hoped my face hadn’t turned bright red and that I didn’t say, “Yes!” too fast.
