The Dupree InheritanceFirst Act: The Return The house had been empty for eleven years, but it remembered us. Beauregard Dupree stood at the gate of the family plantation and felt that memory like a hand on the back of his neck -- warm, familiar, and deeply unwelcome. Mississippi, 1923.

The Clockwork Secret(Variation 10 - Cozy Mystery) The village of Oakhaven was a place where the most scandalous event of the year was usually the size of Mrs. Gable's prize-winning marrow.
