Miss Lizzie's Tea Party

Miss Lizzie tackled me to the ground and held me there while the cook bound her bloody hand with a towel and telephoned the police. My chest heaved with great, gulping sobs as Miss Lizzie's face drew  closer and closer until her lips brushed against my ear.

 

"You see how easy it is," she whispered.
