Either way, she's kept her secret buried for decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Enter seven-year-old Persephone, a relentless little chatterbox who has just moved in across the road (armed with stickers, questions, and no sense of personal boundaries); Joan, who appears to have it in for Elsie; and a healthy dose of public interest--the cops are sniffing around, and the media is circling like seagulls at a picnic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo Mabel does what she's always done best--she takes matters into her own hands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Is she a cantankerous old lady with a shady past?
