What appeared to Lara and Audrey Hawthorne: they’d never escape the problems of the mine where neighbor Raul Barkin labors. Somehow, with all the gossip going on, their coal mine was a secret. The two women would never tell Bets. Now Bets reports to Lara and Audrey that the owner of the mines sent his young, stubborn son to learn the works and the spoiled brat just won’t listen to Manager Raul. So the scoundrel was reluctant to learn. Why was Lara’s husband, Don, reluctant to give his full time to their mine and quit his Chief of Police job?
