Simon sighed. \u201cWould that there was a way to detect a poison hiding in a bottle or meal. But alas, our scientists have not yet gained such insight.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think they could?\u201d Lily asked in disbelief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“And I don\u2019t know what you mean by saying a secret isn\u2019t safe with me. I\u2019m as silent as the grave, as the saying goes. Why, just last week Miss Ainsley told me the reason I haven\u2019t seen her father about is that he\u2019s been tossed in prison for unpaid debts, and I haven\u2019t told a soul about it, so there you are!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fanny hesitated, then added in a serious whisper, \u201cMy Aunt Judith would not approve of my saying saliva.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I promise not to tell,\u201d Lily replied, not knowing what else to say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
