"I have two pieces of advice for young women:
No. 1 - It's what's up front that counts.
You may have some difficulty with that one."

"No. 2 -it's not what you know that counts,
but who you know." Uncle Roger smiled at me. "You'll be our new file clerk."

"I don't want to be a file clerk," I said.

"My dear, when this all breaks, Broadthrow's sure to find out
you're my niece. He has a large detective agency working for him.
You must get out of Woodside. I'm going back to Haiti."

But you told everyone you were in Hawaii."

"I lied " said Uncle Roger.
