"I don't give opinions on deteckative matters until I'm sure," said Mr. Gubb. "She seems nice enough to the naked eye. I don't want to get you to suspicion her or nobody, Miss Scroggs, but about the only clue I can grab hold of is that first letter you got. It said to look on page fourteen, and all the pages by that number was torn out of your books--" "Except my cook-book," said Miss Petunia. "And a person naturally wouldn't go to think of a cook-book as a real book," said Mr. Gubb.
