Under the Rose (42 page)

Don’t believe me
yet
? Do you think, perhaps, that I’m simply spouting the party line? Or maybe you suspect that even a dedicated Digger like me doesn’t know everything about the organization to which I’ve pledged my all, and even less about the property we call our most sacred retreat. That I’m just going down there to party and get a tan.

Interesting theory. Shall we put it to the test?
