Chapter 6. The handsome innkeeper, Ignatius Belle, has caught Felicity’s eye. Yet Copper is decidedly distrustful of the tall man. Who is right? Is Felicity thinking with her head or her… erm… heart? What about that sheriff? Can we trust him? More worrisome than whom to trust and not, Cornelis disappeared with a disconcerting “flat” pop.
