And as everyone might have guessed, it was not Madam Macaron I found waiting for me.
Rather it was.. No one?
I stepped into the park tentatively, dressed much plainer than I had been the last time Madam Macaron invited me to a 'meeting'. Many couples were already inside the park, strolling happily along the cobblestone paths that dove in and out of trees and hedges. But to my surprise—and great delight—, I didn't see anyone there for me.
I decided to settle on an empty bench and simply enjoy the view while I kept watch for Lord Peter and his maid lover. (Just because Count Graye was out of the picture, didn't mean I would let a surveillance opportunity go to waste.)
