CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Mimi was still in my room when I got back. She’d clearly made herself at home. The bed was scattered with fashion magazines and the wrappers from the complimentary chocolates that the hotel had left on my pillow.

“Some things never change.” I laughed as I scooped up the wrappers from the bed.

“Forget the chocolate.” Mimi scrambled to her knees on the bed, her eyes shining like a child's at Christmas. “I want details.”

I shouldn't have smiled. Mimi let out a whoop of laughter. “I knew it!”

“Shh!” It was late, and no doubt some of our fellow hikers were sound asleep.

“Only if you give me a detailed description of every single thing you ate, said, and did.” She was like a kid in a candy store, but it wasn't because of the chocolates.

“We don't have time for that,” I said, reaching for my daypack. “It's late. Let's get through as much of the diary as we can.”

Mimi sighed. “You’re such a party pooper. I want the scoop, not some dreary old diary entries about how many pence per yard muslin costs.”

“You never know. There might be juicy, salacious gossip in here. It might be like a Regency version of the National Enquirer.”

“I’d still rather hear about Daniel.”

I rolled my eyes and joined her on the bed. “Do you want to read first, or should I?”

Mimi shook her head. “You start. I’ll try to stay awake.” She yawned.

“C’mon, Meems. We have to get through this. There may be something in here that Mom wanted us to see or to know. We have to figure out why she sent it to us.”

“She sent it to you. You should figure it out.”

“Just keep your eyes open and listen.” I began to read.
