One Foot In The Door, The Other One On A Banana Peel

The party was a terrific affair. The hostess had obviously put a lot of effort into every aspect of the bash - the decorations were perfect, the food was perfect, the entertainment was perfect, even the games that had been organized for the kids were perfect - a mini Olympiad with bronze, silver, and gold medals awarded on a podium.

So why, thought Mrs Merriman, had the hostess disappeared soon after the band started playing? Why had the oldest son of the next-door neighbors also disappear? And why, pondered Mrs Merriman, were there three plainclothes Detectives mingling among the guests? 

Several ideas flitted through her very fertile imagination as Mrs Merriman sipped the chilled champagne from the slim glass flute. Most of the other guests appeared oblivious to even a hint of anything being awry, but there most certainly was something awry.

Of that, Mrs Merriman was certain.
