Roxy Hunter and the Mystery of the Moody Ghost Page #3

Welcome to Middleton Trust.

I'm Peter Middleton,

but you can call me boss.

Are you settling in all right?

Yes, well, it's been hectic,

but we're managing.

Thank you for putting us

in touch with the estate lawyers.

The place is amazing.

It was just sitting there collecting dust

after dear old Estelle passed away.

Glad we could make use of the place.

As a matter of fact, l...

No rest for the wicked.

Welcome aboard, Sharon.

That's... Susan.

Can't be too hard on him.

He is head of the bank,

mayor of the town,

and justice of the peace.

He's our resident

municipal multi-tasker.

Yeah, so, welcome to Middleton Trust,

established 1934.

Let me show you around.

Roxy, I really have to be studying.

My trig exam is tomorrow.

Clues, Max, clues.

Do you think clues

give a fig about trig?

Whatever that is.

Now, Rebecca says that

the lawyers look after this house

because the owner,

Estelle Moody, died years ago.

- Maybe she's the ghost.

- Why would she haunt the house?

Not even the dead

like lawyers, Max.

- Hey, what is this?

- I don't know.

Come on,

you're the archaeologist.

My parents are the archaeologists.

I'm the guy who's trying

to pass Grade 11, remember?

Really, I'm very disappointed

in your powers of reduction.

- Deduction.

- We've drawn a blank.

Come, Watson.

Do you miss your mom and dad?

Yeah.

If I was a parent,

I'd never leave my child.

Not for one second.

'Cause you'd never know if that was

the last second you'd see them.

What is it?

The window up there.

It's open.

That must be where

the ghosts are getting in.

Or the raccoons.

On, Wind Runner!

And that's 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 in cash,

your withdrawal slip,

and your updated chequing balance.

Thanks for banking with Middleton Trust.

Have a good day.

Oh, my!

Mrs McNeil.

How's the firewood business?

Oh, we're busy as bees.

We could use another hand

if you know anyone.

Well, I'll ask around,

but please remember to keep

an extra cord for me.

Oh, will do.

Oh, she's from the city.

Yeah, did I do bad?

No, not at all.

Although you set a land speed record

for customer service.

- Okay, so I'll just slow it down.

- Don't worry about it.

People around here

have three speeds...

slow, slower,

and stored for winter.

Oh, I should mention

that the bank

frowns on employee dating.

Okay.

Not that... that we...

because, well,

you're married and all.

Oh, yeah, no.

I'm not actually married anymore.

My husband passed away

a few years ago.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

No, don't be sorry.

You couldn't have known that.

It's fine. It's fine.

Yeah, as assistant manager,

it's one of my many, many duties

to inform you
