Dear Miss Blue,

Do the Linguini nieces perform Carmen in French or do they favor Italian?  The tambourine and scarves are impressive and I am sure Melba is thinking about Fanny and voice lessons at the nearby Conservatory.  And so the monkey ran away with the pop beads; what a scamp and very monkey-like of course. Fanny's bookshelf of Nancy Drew stories might be of help; I thought of The Hidden Staircase story; a clue for Fanny is somewhere on one of those pages.

I hope Marcella, Lydia and Giuseppina invite Fanny to join them in song - close harmony in an all-girl quartet. Fanny, I know, would love to sing with Linguini's nieces: Fanny might be the tenor voice, and Marcella the lead voice, with Lydia baritone and Giuseppina, the almighty bass! Just like that! Well, back to Melba's pop beads, I hope that you will send me word that Fanny has tracked down the hiding place and all things are now once more as they were in the first place when this letter began.


Waiting to know all,
Love from Pearl
