"Of course we've all hidden a bit of our savings in the china-closet from time to time, but anyone on the hotel staff would know it was absurd."
Lunch at the Colonial Hotel for some Sour Springs ladies has just taken a surprising turn: the discovery of gold coins in the bottom of their teapot. No one at the hotel will admit to putting the money there-and who could possibly deduce the reason that it was hidden? Why, Mrs. Meade, of course.
This is a stand-alone short story, which can be enjoyed in any order with the Mrs. Meade Mysteries or by readers new to the series.
