THE TALCUM MYSTERY
“What is that smell?” Indy said as he came into the bedroom.
Marion frowned as she fiddled with her earrings. “What smell?”
“Perfumey. Odd.”
Marian didn’t smell anything.
“You got any new powders? New perfumes?” Indy was sniffing like a bloodhound. When he sniffed close to her, she smelled it.
“It’s you!”
“Me?”
She sniffed his cheek. It was actually quite nice and manly.
“Where did you go today?” she asked.
“The barber—that’s it! The talcum powder that he used when he shaved me.”
“Oh! How nice. What’s the occasion?”
“Got a big date with my very best girl!”
