“Oh, no, it didn’t mean that. It couldn’t have,” said CJ, even though, before he met Eloise, that was exactly what he thought it meant.

“You have no idea of the value of my father’s estate,” Eloise continued.

“It’s a lot, right?” CJ said.

“Like twenty thousand dollars?” Brid asked.

Eloise smiled. “Times have changed, and these were one-of-a-kind objects: real treasure from another era. I once made a list of what I knew to be hidden. I took it to an art appraiser; he told me the low bid on such items would be several hundred million dollars.”

The Smithforks gasped. Brid had thought she might be looking for a few rare books and maybe a valuable tea set and some coins, but nothing like what Miss Post described. As the sky over Central Park darkened, everything around her seemed uneasy and sinister.

“Children, after all these years and so many false starts, it is hard for me to be truly excited. I don’t want to raise your hopes or mine. But I will say how much I enjoy having someone to talk to about this, someone I can trust.”

“Well, we’re happy to finally have someone to talk to, too!” blurted out Brid.

Eloise smiled. “We need to stay apart from each other in the building. We don’t want to attract Mr. Torrio’s attention. Also, keep your eyes out for poetry. My father was a great one for the obvious.”
