Abigail Craig shook Carolyn's hand after the meeting.

"You did a fantastic job explaining the blueprint. And a great job convincing the others that Gull Cottage must not be haunted, after all. I must say, the hijinks did liven the meeting somewhat. A delightful touch. Have you ever considered acting? Schooner Bay has a lovely community theatre!"

The woman pulled Carolyn closer.

"Bravo, dear" she whispered conspiratorially. "Some of us know what really happens up here, after the curtain falls and the lights go out. Act II. Don't act so surprised. We're watching you, petite Mrs. Muir. We don't approve."
