“I’m telling you, I saw them in that awful comic book store,” Mabel was telling Edith as she checked out the video of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth, a favorite of Edith’s. “Luke Maguire and the mayor’s son. Who knows what they sell in there?”

“They sell comic books,” Edith said.

“Can’t the town council do something about that?”

“No.”

“You can’t be saying you approve of that sort of thing.”

“What sort of thing?”

“Well, comic books. He could be selling pornography for all we know.”

“Oh, we’d know. We send in people to check things out.”

“People?”

“The mayor’s brother.”

Mabel’s carefully plucked and penciled eyebrows rose. “Phil the dentist reads comic books?”

“He’s posing as a fan to keep an eye on the situation.”

“Well, that’s a relief.”

“Don’t you worry about a thing, Mabel.” Edith patted her hand. “Your town council is hard at work for you and has everything under control.”

“You don’t have Luke Maguire under control.”

“No. I fear that is an impossible task. But we’re still working on it.”

“It looks like he has a thing for the librarian.”

Edith nodded. “I understand he’s been spotted kissing her once or twice.”

“Twice? I only know about the one time at the Wiener Races.”

“Yes, that was quite a . . . situation. Nothing Mr. Darcy would have done, making a scene like that.”

“Who’s Mr. Darcy? Does he work at the funeral home?”

“No, he’s the hero in Pride and Prejudice.” Edith tapped the video box.

“Oh. I never saw the movie.”

“What about reading the book?”

“They made it into a book, too?”

“Never mind.”

“Wait!” Mabel grabbed Edith’s wrist to stop her from leaving. “What about the second kiss you were talking about?”

“Mrs. Selznick was taking her dog Terminator for a walk and claims she might have seen them on Julia’s front porch.”

“Them?”

“Julia and Luke.”

“What were they doing?”

“Well, it was getting dark by then so she couldn’t be sure, but it looked like they might have been kissing. Don’t say you heard it from me, however.”

“I won’t. When did this happen?”

“A few days ago.” Edith shook her head. “I thought Julia had more sense than that.”

“Who’s Julia? Is she in Pride and Prejudice, too?”

“No, Julia is the librarian,” Edith said impatiently.

“Oh. Right. I knew that. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up, though.”

“Just remember, you didn’t hear any of this from me.”

“Got it.”
