By one o’clock the funeral attendees had cleared out and Miss Dimple was readying the tables for afternoon tea. They probably wouldn’t be all that busy today, but Theodosia worried that Haley might be feeling kitchen stressed.

She wasn’t.

“Nope, I’m okay,” Haley said. She was bopping around her kitchen, wearing a chef’s hat that looked for all the world like an oversized mushroom. A pot simmered on the stove while heavenly aromas seeped from her oven.

“Even though you’re running on three hours of sleep?” Theodosia asked.

“Aw, Drayton keeps bringing me mugs of vanilla chai. Must be chock-full of caffeine ’cause I’m still going like gangbusters.”

“I think I’d better grab a mug of that myself,” Theodosia said.

She walked back into the tea room, where Miss Dimple was already setting out clean dishes and flatware. It was amazing how fast she’d been able to turn the tea shop around.

Drayton saw Theodosia looking thoughtful.

“Need something to do?” he asked.

“Actually, it looks like we’re almost caught up,” Theodosia said. “If you can spare me for ten minutes or so, I’m going to run down to Antiquarian Books.”

“Go,” he said, waving a hand. “Enjoy.”
