 Why couldn't most people tell Matilda where Haron lived?
Cedar Falls was a small town not fifty miles from her home, and she'd get there a hop, skip, and jump ahead of her competitors, simply by arriving in person instead of writing a letter. First place, I don't know any Haron Gorka—" Matilda kept the alarm from creeping into her voice. Matilda did, only they didn't know any Haron Gorka, either. As far us the gentry of Cedar Falls was concerned, Haron Gorka did not exist. There were five cars parked in the long driveway, and now Matilda's made the sixth. She had not been the only one with the idea to visit Haron Gorka in person.
