“That’s the way he impressed me, Lou. Perhaps I flatter myself, but I believe my tattoo story may cause quite a stir in Riverview.”
“Was Fenestra annoyed by it?”
“I think so, Lou, although he tried to cover his feelings. He may or may not be a friend of John Munn, but he certainly was anxious to learn what became of him.”
“You didn’t ask him any questions?”
“No, his visit took me by surprise. But I’ve been thinking, Lou. I very much want a follow up story on John Munn for next week’s paper. Suppose we run out to Fenestra’s farm tomorrow.”
“What purpose would there be in that?”
“Fenestra may be able to tell us interesting facts which will throw light on the mystery. He may understand the significance of the octopus tattoo.”
“You’re rather hopeful, I think.”
“But you’ll go with me?”
“Yes,” promised Louise. “I’ve always had a curiosity to see The Willows. Besides, I need a vacation from my strenuous duties as editor.”
