Excerpt from The Second Bullet
"Who is she, anyway?" Beatrice Ledyard placed her coffee cu upon the tabouret and raised her hazel eyes with a curious feline glint in them to her mother.
"My dear Trixy, what a question!" Mrs. Ledyard waved a plump hand deprecatingly. "I've been talking of Mrs. Hartshorne, and the invaluable aid she has given us in preparation for the Red Cross bazaar -"
"I know, but is she going to take charge of a booth herself? Is she going to appear in any capacity?" Trixy pursued. "Doesn't it strike you as a bit odd that in all the six months she has been here in Eastopolis Mrs. Hartshorne has never appeared at any more public function than church?"
"You don't mean that she might possibly be afraid of meeting embarrassing acquaintances from the past, do you Trixy?" a guileless voice asked sweetly from a low chair by the fern-banked hearth, and Bebe Cowles helped herself lazily to another lump of sugar. "It would be simply fascinating to find that we had an adventuress in our prosaic exclusive midst."
