Can Jane Keep a Secret?
When we last saw our heroine, she was heading into a meeting for the games committee for the Spring Festival at church. As if that weren't onerous enough, with a headache starting before she even walked into the room, Dr. Noway showed up to work on the same committee.
Even worse, Jane feared she was drugged, because she found herself acting slightly ditzy and her inane comments could be taken as flirting with Dr. Noway. It didn't help that he had a smile like hot fudge sauce on strawberry ice cream, with double whipped cream.
Fear not, loyal readers.
Our heroine was not drugged.
She was just very tired after a long day at school.
What happened in the games committee meeting?
Regretfully, we cannot tell you -- it was labeled Top Secret by the committee chair, and Jane, as s pseudo-semi-secret agent knows how to keep a secret. No one outside the games committee will know what is planned for the Spring Festival until the day of the festival.
Now the question is: Will Jane live long enough to work at the Spring Festival?
It is not so much all the work she has to put in, finding all the props and equipment and helping round up the prizes for the games -- although that is an awful lot of work, but Jane is very good at hard work -- but the problem comes from the fact that she will have to work with Dr. Noway.
Will she survive?
Keep reading, and find out.
In the meantime ....
See Jane.
Jane is in the main library of the local university.
Jane has brought a busload of students to the university to do research. No matter how good the library is at her small Christian school, it does not have all the books that the students need for their term papers.
Jane walks around the library, trying to keep track of thirty boys and girls in tenth and eleventh grade. Fortunately, everyone is wearing uniforms -- they stand out very well from the university students, who are for the most part in sweatshirts and jeans. Still, between Jane and the head librarian and four teachers' aides, there is an awful lot of room to cover and many students to keep track of. Jane has taken the third floor of the library. The fact that it is very quiet here on the third floor does not reassure Jane in the least.
Students are always at their most dangerous and mischievous when it is very quiet.
Then Jane comes around the corner and she sees something that welds her new shoes to the carpet and sends a numbing chill through her.
Dr. Noway is at the university library.
To be more specific, Dr. Noway is walking around the big glassed-in "cage" that holds the Special Collections section of the university library.
The Special Collections are old or rare books and notebooks and research materials that are too valuable to be available to the general public. They cannot leave the glass cage that has an electronic lock and a librarian always on duty inside the room.
What can Dr. Noway possibly be looking for in the Special Collections room? Jane realizes she has to learn quickly what is supposed to be in that room, and notify O, just in case there is something dangerous or sensitive here.
Should she stay here, where she can keep an eye on Dr. Noway, and make sure he doesn't do something utterly evil -- such as rip a page out of a book?
What should Jane do?
What will Jane do?
Stay tuned for the next adventure of Bondservant. Jane Bondservant.
