Ch.1
Sophie Watson sighed and grimaced as she gazed out the window of the small teashop and down the lane at the dreary row of shops lining the street. It was no secret that more than anything, she wanted to get out of this oppressive shop and solve mysteries like her great-great- grandfather Dr. Watson, assistant to Sherlock Holmes, had. Groaning again, she reached under the counter, pulled out a tie-dye backpack, and rummaged through it until she found the I-pod she was looking for. She triumphantly pulled it out and jammed the headphones in her ears. Just as she reached her favorite song, the small bell on the door rang and a cheery voice sang out, "Hello deary, I'm all out of Earl Grey, I forget to buy it before I'm out, I do". Sophie scowled. Mrs. Smith. Just what she needed. She didn't have anything against Mrs. Smith's forgetfulness, but she was just too cheerful. "I'll take two pounds of Earl Grey, no, better make that three, Mr. Smith does love his tea, and oh! A pound of coffee would be lovely my dear." " That will be 5 pounds, and 6 pence," Sophie replied.
"My, my, so expensive, but well, taxes are going up aren't they"! exclaimed Mrs. Smith. She handed over the money and took the tea from Sophie. "Good day Sophia"! She said over her shoulder. Sophie scowled again. She hated her full name.
