Despite Katie Rose’s nasty accusations, pouting lip, and obstinate silence through the remainder of the week, Maureen was certain she’d made her point, certain her younger sister would obey her now that she knew the seriousness of their plight.

But when Maureen returned home after a long and wearisome Saturday restocking shelves in the Darcy’s Department Store cellar, she found the apartment empty, with only a note next to the table lamp.

I’ve gone to the tea. Will be back when it’s done.

Katie Rose

Maureen dropped the paper, unbelieving. How could she go when I told her . . . ? Foolish, foolish girl!

But in her anger an image of her sister rose up before her. Young, flirtatious, smiling, trusting—so wanting to be noticed. An image of Drake Meitland followed closely behind, his superior smirk and the cultured voice she was certain was his that night in the dark of Darcy’s Department Store.

Maureen had not unbuttoned her cloak. She grabbed her purse, dug a nickel from the pint jar on their bedside table, as well as the address for Dorothy Meitland, and raced down the stairs.

By the time Maureen reached the mansion in Salley Square, she was breathless, her frozen feet ached, and the rumble in her empty stomach had become a grinding churn. But she pounded on the front door with all the force of a judge’s gavel, determined to rescue her sister.
