Molly Gertrude had an idea.

After the encouraging verse Papa Julian had received in prayer, they all felt it was time to check out Sharlan Tan for themselves. They should go to Sharlan Tan's meeting. After all, wasn’t that what God had put on Papa Julian's heart? Go out and face them and be not afraid?

But Molly Gertrude had an unexpected idea. "Yes, somebody should go to the meeting, but how about if some of us snoop around Sharlan Tan's living quarters during the meeting. He's not going to be there, obviously, and who knows, maybe we will find something that will lead us to the stolen book."

"I-Isn't that illegal?" Bella asked, a little pale in the face.

"I am not planning to steal anything," Molly Gertrude replied. "Of course, if I find the stolen book I will take it back, but I doubt I will find it in his trailer, even if he has stolen it." There was a gleam in Molly Gertrude's eyes. "You don't have to do it, Bella. I think it would be best if you go with your husband to the meeting, and I take Dora with me."

A throaty, nervous laugh escaped from Dora's mouth. "It might be dangerous to go to his trailer."

Molly Gertrude nodded. "Maybe, but we are not supposed to cower in the face of danger. Wasn't it Napoleon Bonaparte who said,

'Victory belongs to the most persevering?' "

"Sure," Dora shot back, "he may have said that, but look where it got him, and he wasn't even a man of God."

"Precisely," Molly Gertrude said. " He couldn't count on God's help, but we can. And, I was thinking about asking asking that young deputy friend of yours to come along…" She let her voice trail off as she glanced at Dora.

Dora blushed and her mouth hung open. "D-Digby? You want him to come too?"

"Of course," Molly Gertrude sang. "You are right when you say it may be a bit dangerous, so it's always good to have the law on our side."

"You think he would even want to come?"

"Of course he will," Molly Gertrude snorted. "Every time we bump into that young man he seems to only see you, Dora. It's my hunch, he'll be overjoyed to watch over you on such a mission."

Dora was won over. A victorious smile had replaced the dark doubts that had flashed over her face only minutes earlier. "I'll call him right away," she said, as she pulled out her mobile phone.

Molly Gertrude had been right as far as Deputy Digby was concerned. He was overjoyed with the prospect of accompanying Dora and Molly Gertrude on their quest, and since he was not on duty that evening, the young man with the boyish grin and the blond curls arrived right on time at the house of Papa Julian, where Dora filled him in on what was happening.

When he heard about Sharlan Tan's antics and what Papa Julian thought of him, he shook his head in disgust and his eyes turned cold.
