“Why would anyone leave a cheese hamper — especially such a heavy one — in the billiard room?” Isolde asked. Oddly enough, I was ready with an answer.
“They must have stolen it, and the fuzz was closing in.” I elaborated by relating the tale of when my cousin fled Australia in a fake beard being worn by my much larger cousin, but I didn’t get far before I caught that look on Isolde’s face. The look says “you’re boring, baby” and it didn’t waver even when I mentioned that my cousins left behind four fully grown hippopotamuses.
Fleur pinched her nose. She said, “I think one of those diapers needs changing. You do it. My fingers are too stubby for such delicate work.”
“Well, in that case,” I ventured hopefully, “perhaps you’d like to get out of the tub now that it’s been contaminated. That diaper looks pretty waterlogged.”
Fleur was still holding her nose. “Prague is a city,” she said firmly.
“No, I said waterlogged.”
She ignored me. “And I want to go there right now. Isolde, go to the bridge and tell them I want a Bohemian spa day.”
