The warmth of the sun teamed with total silence soon had May-Jewel nodding asleep. She had no idea how long she had been alone in the carriage when a voice suddenly awakened her.

“Why Mistress Belwood! What a surprise. Are you waiting for someone?”

It took a moment for May-Jewel to realize that it was the vicar who was speaking to her and to register his words. “I’m waiting for Katherine,” she replied, stifling a yawn. “She wanted to see the Craig family vault.”

David frowned. “But why didn’t she come first to the manse? We have papers and diagrams that we could have shown her to save her the trip to that dank and inhospitable place.”

May-Jewel shrugged, for she couldn’t explain her sister’s bold decision to go unescorted to the vault.

“Come then, we shouldn’t leave her there alone.” He aided May-Jewel down from the carriage and hastily led the way into the cemetery.
