Nell didn't want to go to the reunion to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of ''The Golden Bones''. She'd had no benefit from it - in fact, it had made her life precarious and unbelievably challenging. I'd better explain. ''The Golden Bones'' was a treasure quest book painted and written by Frank and Cora Churcher. The story revolved around murdered Elinore whose golden and bejewelled bones were hidden around the country. The clues - some of them quite tortuous - were disguised in the words and pictures of the book - and all the parts were discovered except for the pelvis. As with such quests, some people were obsessive and the theories became more and more outlandish.}}=='''6 OCTOBER4 JULY'''==
