Chapter Thirteen

“Really, Jessica. The last time I had to bail anyone out of jail was when some wags in the senior class hauled Professor Constantine’s MG up onto the roof of the Student Union. You can imagine how long ago that was. It’s been at least five years since Archie stopped driving, and his last vehicle was a far cry from a sports car.”

“Schoolman must have an unusually well-behaved student body,” I said.

Harriet and I walked out of the New Salem County Courthouse, where I had spent the last several hours waiting to see the judge. The night was clear and cold enough to prickle the inside of your nose. I still wore the running suit I’d had on earlier, dusty from my prohibited exploration, and not warm enough to shield me from the chilly night air. I looked up at the sky, at the millions of stars, and shivered. I was grateful that Harriet had dropped everything to come to my rescue. Nevertheless, at that moment I wished myself back in Cabot Cove, in my cozy home, warmed by familiar surroundings, with my cherished friends about me. Oh, dear, Seth would be wondering why I hadn’t returned his call, and I briefly debated whether or not to give him the full account. He was always sympathetic, but prone to worrying, too.

“I tried to explain to Lieutenant Parish why I’d trespassed,” I said, “but he was not in the mood to listen.”

“He was just doing his job,” Harriet said curtly, her pique evident in her tone.

“Yes, I suppose he was.”
