Esmerelda Sleuth: Beyond the Portal (Book 3)
“I’m Nora Oosterhout and this is my partner Esmerelda Sleuth. You are Mr. Havershaft. Is that right?”
Keeping his wrappings on him, he poked out a thin, boney hand and removed the snow covered glove so that he could shake her petite, plump one. “That is correct, Miss Oosterhout. It is worse out there than I had anticipated. I came through the fields on a path that was made by snowmobiles, but I fear that, if I dally too long, going home will be a difficulty for my horses. They have cleats and pads on to help prevent them from slipping on the icy crust or snow building up in their hooves, but, even so, I shall cut to the quick.”
