“And now you’ve had a piece of good luck?”
“Yes,” Rosanna’s face glowed as she opened her purse and took out the letter which Penny had picked up from the escalator. “If you hadn’t saved this for me, I should have lost everything.”
“Then I’m glad I snatched it up in time,” Penny smiled.
She could not imagine the contents of the mysterious letter. It was all she could do to keep from asking questions.
“I’d like to have you read it if you care to,” Rosanna said a trifle timidly. “I’m anxious to learn the opinion of another person.”
“Why, I’ll be glad to look at it if you wish,” Penny returned, a little surprised at the request. “And as far as advice is concerned, I love to offer it.”
She accepted the envelope which Rosanna proffered. As she took out the folded letter a key dropped out into her lap.
“What’s this?” Penny demanded.
Rosanna laughed nervously. “If what the letter says is true, it seems to be the key to my inheritance! But read the letter for yourself.”
