The RecordsThe next morning, I decided to have our staff outing at the Spadros Country House. With Jane's help, I began coordinating preparations with the housekeeper there. Tony was gone much of the time, and I considered using the target range on my own, but there never seemed to be a good time for it. Like when Tony was engaged with the accountant, Jane had many questions for me, and tasks which only I could do.
I wasn't able to get to Jake Bower's office until a few days later. This time I wore Madame Biltcliffe's mourning garb. Mr. Bower stared at me for several heartbeats, then hurried me inside, alarm on his face. "That veil's much too thin. I've never seen your face plainly, yet I recognized you from your portraits. If you plan to continue this, you'll need a better disguise."
