Chapter Five

Early the next morning Suzie and Mary met in the kitchen. There was breakfast to prepare for four guests. Though Suzie doubted that Martin would join them for that, Alice was there in her robe and fluffy slippers within minutes of the coffee brewing.

“That smells good,” she sighed as she settled down at the dining room table.

“What do you like in your coffee?” Mary asked warmly.

“Two sugars, one cream,” Alice said.

“Did you have a chance to enjoy your bath?” Suzie asked as she set a tray of fruit, danishes, and toast out on the table.

“Yes, I did,” she replied. “I would have preferred if it was ready when I needed it, but I have to admit the water was toasty and the bath was beautiful.”

Suzie smiled with relief. She was glad that Alice seemed to be having a better time now that she could have a bath. Now, if the plumber could get everything fixed properly she could finally feel comfortable again. She looked out the window and was relieved to see the plumber stepping out of his van. At least he would be working on fixing the problem.

“Good morning,” Jim said as he and Diana walked down the hallway towards the dining room table. They were both dressed for the beach, Diana in a bathing suit, Jim in board shorts.

“Good morning,” Mary said as she looked at the two of them.

“It's a lovely day for going to the beach. Feel free to take the chairs and a tent from around the back so you can enjoy the water without too much sun.”

“Thank you so much,” Jim said. “I have to say this place is absolutely wonderful.”

“I'm glad you think so,” Suzie said with a smile. “Remember we do have lunch and dinner available, but there are also several great restaurants in town you might enjoy. Cheney's is great if you like pasta, and there is also a nice diner that you can get a quick bite at.”

“Great,” Diana nodded. “I think we're going to spend most of the day out on the beach. Maybe we'll pick something up from the diner.”

“Do you have any plans for today?” Mary asked Alice politely.

“I'll probably do a little shopping, if there is any,” she said, her snooty attitude returning with force.

“Well, if any of you have any questions about Garber, or Dune House, please feel free to ask at any time,” Suzie said quickly.

“Thanks, we'll do that,” Jim said.

Suzie went to get herself a cup of coffee. As she stood in the kitchen she looked out over the sandy trail that led from the back of the house to the beach. She noticed that there were some footprints, and what looked like drag marks. She narrowed her eyes, wondering what had caused them. But there wasn't time to investigate as she had to get back to the guests. When she returned to the table she and Mary shared the meal with their guests. They chatted a little about Garber and then everyone went their separate ways.
