Mr. Ross finished speaking on the phone, and then looked carefully at my mother and me. For a few
seconds he didn't speak, and just watched us. Then he said, "I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Sanders. I need
some help with my work. My secretary is in hospital, and there's a lot of work to do. Sometimes you'll have
to work late at night, because of time difference in New York and Tokyo. Is that right?
"Yes, that's all right," said my mother.
"Can you use a computer?"
"Yes."
"Good." He looked at me. "Is that your daughter?"
"Yes, this is Carol," said my mother.
"Hello." I said.
"Greta says you like gardening. There's a big garden here, so you can help Mr. Duncan. And there's a
farm. Dan and Stella Parks live in the farmhouse and work on the farm. You can help them, too. We have
some animals, some sheep, a few cows and chickens. And there's a horse called Smoke. He's gray, like his
name. Can you ride?"
"Yes," I said, "I can ride a horse."
"You can ride Smoke around the island, if you like."
"I'd like that," I said, "Thank you."
"And we grow vegetables and fruit." he said, "I work on the farm sometimes. I enjoy it."
I smiled at him but he didn't smile back.
"Carol will enjoy working on the farm," said my mother, "Won't you, Carol?"
"Yes." I said.
"Mr. Ross looks sad," I thought, "But how did he get all his money? And why does he hide away on a
British island?"
