Walk About, Chapter Fourteen


Darlene Franklin-Campbell's new novel, Walk About, is being posted online chapter-by-chapter, for people to read for free. Previous Chapter: Walk About, Chapter Thirteen, or start at the beginning: Walk About: Chapter One.

Chapter Fourteen

By Darlene Franklin-Campbell

The Wednesday afternoon lady's prayer group seemed more like a tea club to Ace, minus the tea. The meeting was held in the sanctuary of the Thorn Grove Church a few miles from Jennie's place. There were several elderly ladies just as Jennie had said there would be and they gathered in one corner of the sanctuary. Ace wore a white sun dress and lavender cardigan, not her usual style at all but she reasoned that when spying on people at church it was probably best to look as saintly as possible without over doing it. She also figured that she needed to put the finishing school lessons to use and present herself with a touch of class. Jennie introduced her as a border from Romania, which Ace did not dispute.

"Romania? Where's that?" asked a blue-haired lady in white rimmed glasses.
