The Meeting
Chapter 4
The pink bell tinkled jauntily as Helda and I entered Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop. Sweet aromas filled the air, the hub-bub of chatter reached my ears, and Helda did her best to look cheerful as a tall, black-haired lady beckoned her over to her table.
‘Professor Artemus,’ I said in a steely voice, following Helda over to Awful Artemus’ table. ‘How very nice to see you.’
I forced the lies from my mouth. Artemus just gave her sinister smile and opened her red-lipped mouth.
‘I’d rather you weren’t here, thank you, Forman,’ she said, to my surprise. ‘This is just between me and Miss Helda- things may get a little…’
Her black eyes flashed. ‘Private.’
‘Oh, that’s completely fine,’ I seethed, still shocked. ‘I’ll find my own way out…’
I stalked off.
‘Please do, Forman…’ drawled a fading voice. ‘Please do.’
