Stephan, Under Suspicion

The case of caviar the Humpherts ordered was missing from their mansion. What a mystery! Could long-time butler Stephan be the culprit? If so, posthaste the traitor would be history. One Humphert child cried out, “He wouldn’t do that! “Some stranger could have slipped in,” said the other and swiped those little cans. Are they expensive?” “Oh, yes, five thousand dollars!” said the mother. They then recalled that when their goods were stolen, the butler and his bowling team were out of town. They told the kids, “You’re right. He didn’t do this.” The stunning theft resulted in a weeks-long frown. The kids now keep a secret from their parents. They’ll never tell how much stray cats love caviar. They buy them cat food now with their own money. Stephan just smiles and nods while watching from afar.
