Chapter 19: The Envelope
The dining room turned to look at me.
"Lacey?" Rafferty said.
"It's fine," I said, and stood.
Tobias had the face of a man who has saved one card all night.
"On Monday morning," he said, to the room, "a housekeeper put a cream envelope in Mrs. Wexley's locker."
"Did she?" said Odessa.
"Five thousand dollars in cash. I had the locker room watched, because I am careful about where family money goes."
"How very thorough of you."
"She never gave it back," Tobias said.
"She took her first week's pay from this family in cash."
"Then she sat in my boardroom on Tuesday and questioned my honesty."
The thin woman winced.
I looked at Rafferty.
His face was calm, and his eyes were on me, and he did not move.
I picked up my bag from the back of the chair.
"Did the housekeeper tell you what was written on the envelope?" I asked.
"Does it matter?"
"I think it does."
I reached into the bag and took out a cream envelope with a gold O.W. embossed on the flap.
