Chapter Ten: The Lost Kingdom of Mu

“Trudy, I’m home!” I called as I crossed the threshold.

I pulled off my gloves and stuffed them into the pockets of the overcoat. Then taking the coat off, I handed it to Siobhan, our housekeeper, who carried it off to the closet. Walking into the living room, I stopped at the bar and poured myself a sherry. Though the doorway to the kitchen, I could see Gertrude talking to someone, but I couldn’t seem to whom. She saw me, turned, and walked through the two rooms to kiss me on the cheek.

“Who are you visiting with in the kitchen?” I asked.

“What? Oh, that was just Walter.”

“Is your father here?”

“No.”

“Were you borrowing his car? Where have you been off to?”

“No, I’ve been at home all day.”

I swallowed my sherry while I looked at her. “Do you want to tell me why your father’s driver was here, or do I have to keep playing twenty questions?”

“Walter is more than just my father’s driver,” she said. “He’s a dear friend. We’ve known each other for years.”

“Do you think it’s appropriate for a married woman to have male friends at her house when her husband is away?”

Her eyes flashed and for a moment she looked like she wanted to strike me. Then she twisted her lips into a smile. “I’ll see who I want to see. Dinner is at seven.”

She turned and walked briskly toward the stairs.
