Dear friend Quote by Cindy Anstey
““Don’t you agree?” “Indeed,” Robert answered without thought, and then sharply shook his head. “I beg your pardon. You were saying?” “That Mr. Warner is a thorough investigator, and despite his doubts, I believe he will succeed in ferreting out our master criminal.” She stared up at him from the settee, looking quite at ease. “Master criminal?” “Yes, Les and Morley could hardly be accused of the cleverness needed for such a planned endeavor.” “Yes … no…” With a frown, Robert scanned the room. “Indeed, a master … Where is Mr. Warner?” Lydia laughed, a delightful carillon. “Robert, my dear friend, you were woolgathering. I thought as much; your expression was rather blank.” “Was it?” Robert was very glad to know that he did not look the lovesick calf he felt.””
