The Truth About the Glass, Part 25

And what do you know? Around the same time Constance began to find her prison slightly tolerable, Agatha found relief from her anxious waiting when the maid rushed into the parlor in a frenzied state.</p> <p>“Ma’am! Ma’am! There’s a man come for you! He gave me a message but was gone soon as I turn around! I don’t know he got in, ma’am! Oh, he gave me such a fright!” the maid rattled on.</p> <p>Agatha, irritated, grabbed the maid by her wrist so forcefully that tears sprouted in the woman’s eyes.</p> <p>“What did he say?” Agatha demanded.</p> <p>“First he just said, ‘a castle with no name.’ That was it! Then I-I-I asked for his name, but all he would say is to tell you that he wouldn’t go there as himself if he was you.”</p> <p>Agatha released her wincing servant. “Is that all he said?” she asked.</p> <p>The maid nodded vigorously.“Are you sure?”</p> <p>“Yes, ma’am. I’m sure because I thought it odd how he made such a point of saying as himself,” the maid insisted. “I think it was a hint, ma’am, though I can’t think what for. Oh, who was he, ma’am? He wouldn’t come out of the shadows!” “He was insurance that you’ll continue to be paid,” said Agatha with a wicked smile.</p> <p>Just then, there was the sound of an old woman’s singing outside the door.</p> <p>“Oh, that’ll be that old peddler woman again. I’ll go and get rid of her,” the maid groused as she turned and went back to the door. “Go away, old woman! We don’t want any of your rotten fruit or your singin’!”</p> <p>“Wait! Bring the peddler inside,” Agatha commanded, for an idea had suddenly bloomed in her mind, as fragrant as an apple blossom.
