OLD HABITS

“What?” Mutt asked his father as they waked down the darkened path.

“Shhhh. Be quieter,” Indy whispered back at him.

“Why?”

“Because you never know who or what is listening in.”

Mutt held back a sarcastic retort and quietly followed his father. They were still getting used to this father-son dynamic and Mutt might have been a little better at it than his father was. Marion thought they were both rather hopeless in the relationship department. She was probably right.

“I don’t know who you think is listening. This is the path to the garden in your own back yard.”

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!”
