“I’ll be at the historical society museum, Victoria.” Botts said as he dropped Victoria and the two girls off at the Enquirer for their interview with Colley. Victoria went into the newspaper office with them.

They stopped at the reception desk and Victoria introduced the girls to Faith. “These two young ladies are here for their appointment with Colley.”

Faith looked at her calendar. “Mr. Jameson must have forgotten. He’s with his attorney right now.”

Victoria’s face flushed. “The girls have come from off Island at Colley’s request. They made a special trip.”

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Trumbull.” Faith rose out of her seat. “I don’t know what to say. Would you care to wait?”

Victoria tapped her fingers on the reception desk. “When do you expect him back?”

“It’s okay, Mrs. Trumbull,” said Tiffany. “We don’t, like, want to be a bother.”

“He probably won’t be more than an hour,” Faith said.

Victoria turned to Tiffany. “Mr. Jameson made an appointment with you. You set aside your entire day to meet with him for a half-hour. It’s not much to ask of him that he remember the appointment that he made.”

Tiffany and Wendy looked at each other. “Really, Mrs. Trumbull. We can come back another day,” said Tiffany.

Victoria turned to Faith. “Is Alfred Fox his lawyer?”

“Yes. At Pease’s Point Way.”

“I know where it is. Come along, girls,” said Victoria. “That’s only two blocks from here.”

“Perhaps I’d better call Mr. Fox’s office?” Faith said. “To let him know you’re on your way?”

“That won’t be necessary,” Victoria said, and marched out, the two girls trailing after her.
