Good news! Manchester Daily Times reporter Rebecca "Becky" Lillian Carter finds herself invited for an official audience with none other than Marta Alfonsi. The bad news? This rare official audience comes hot on the heels of Miss Becky unceremoniously (and clumsily) being caught during an unofficial visit to the Alfonsi mansion. It's difficult to explain what you're doing when Marta catches you snooping around in her closet.
Miss Carter does have the gift of gab. Maybe she can talk her way out of this? What's that you say? She's got her mouth taped over? Hmmm... think think think... Gosh, Becky better figure this out quick. All that blood is rushing to her head, and it's really getting difficult to think clearly.
Explain yourself, Becky. Marta Alfonsi is waiting to hear your elaborate story... and she's not such a patient woman.
