Margie Dixen, svelte flancee he brought with him to Paradise Lake this year, much to Jeanie’s embarrassment, hysterically intimates suspicion of Jeanie. Others wonder how Jeanie’s siraight-faced spinster aunt, Miss Millie, feels abou! the , murder of 3 man she despised. DNiary, Denny and Todd Palmer, local editer, all feel that Maudie knows mere than shy is revealing. :
