Nancy hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “hen, let me be honest with you. It’s not that I don’t want to help–1 simply can’t. If you don’t tell Yvette about your uncle’s stuben, and she finds our later, the be furious. She already snapped at me earlier today.”

Where had she picked up such an irritating habit? Frustrated, I hung up and called Oliver instead
