These letters and the diary were in the Pan Am bag Margaret left in the Volkswagen. I read them because that’s the kind of unprincipled busybody I am. I didn’t put them back in the bag, because I didn’t feel you would have found them at all if we hadn’t called your attention to the bag. I thought Margaret would come back and maybe you’d never have to know about it … Selfishly I thought that if the Gambles were the instrument to your finding out, you might not consent to the special … At the time, the special seemed to be the most important thing for Archie and me. Everything will speak for itself, Neal, but as long as I’m telling you all this, let me add more. The night we came to your house for the first time, I noticed a car in the drive. I don’t know whose car it is—perhaps you do. I wouldn’t have paid any attention to it, except for the penny on the door. That struck me as a feminine touch, though I can see now that a boy might stick something like that on a car door, too.
