There’s been a homicide down in Shangri-la, and Pearl Bailey is a prime suspect. Don’t be fooled by her bashful eye movements, it’s only her attempt at feigning a look of innocence!
On our morning stroll to do business, I was down in the back yard with Pearl Bailey when I discovered a gaping hole that at first glance appeared to be the size of the Grand Canyon! Based on her past discretions, I KNOW Pearl Bailey is behind the caper. Her sidekick, Ella, could not have done it – the hole was ten-times the size of Ella’s whole body. This leads me to believe that as innocent as Pearl Bailey professes to be, she had to have dug the hole. Yet, she’s not talking!
The hole in question once contained a lovely miniature Bird of Paradise plant that blossomed twice a year. It was sweetly placed at the bottom of the deck steps and made for a warm welcome to the grounds. Now, that plant has apparently been murdered because even though there is no corpse to be found, the hole left behind is clear and conclusive evidence.
I am guilt shaming Pearl Bailey this afternoon although she still remains silent and pleading her innocence through each glance. I am sticking to her like glue and not letting up on my interrogation.
Believe me, I’ll get the truth out of her if it’s the last thing I do.
