Good Thieves Gone Bad
They floated for miles on end. Mina and Isabel bypassed boredom, died, awoke again and were about to die all over again when they bumped into a man who was afloat in the water. They pulled him onto their boat, which teetered dangerously at the added weight. Once the man woke, they inquired of how he came to be to be floating in the water. He replied,
"I was coming from Jane Laurence's home on steamboat and a man threw me off. Her father just died and her mother has been dead for ten years. Poor thing. Therefore, her two sisters who are as old as you, are coming in a couple of days. Her grandfather is coming as well." Mina and Isabel exchanged I-think-I-have-a-plan looks.
"Are you the sisters?" Inquired the man.
"Heavens, no! We're just going to …Florence," supplied Isabel. "How old are the girls?"
"Oh…Susannah is fourteen and Mary is twelve," answered the man. "And they're going to Florence, too, not that it would be anything to you," he admitted.
"Oh really," muttered Mina and Isabel under their breaths.
"Why are they taking so long?" Mina questioned.
"Well you would take awhile to get to Florence if you lived in Sheffield, England!" With that answer, both girls started bombarding the man with questions about everybody right down to the dogs. After they were done, they knew Jane's family inside out and backwards. The poor man got off so confused he did not know whom he was. Poor guy.
"I have an idea," remarked Isabel.
"So do I."
"Well say yours first then," commanded Isabel.
"First, we can take the place of Susannah and Mary," started Mina.
"Then if there's money involved we take it all and scram," continued Isabel.
"But if there's not we'll take their stuff and then scram." They giggled with excitement and started paddling. They paddled and paddled until their muscles seized up. Then they decided to float the rest of the way.
