Chapter 14 - THE NEW INVENTORY
Arthur rebuilt the inventory system.
Not because Elena’s was bad.
Because too much knowledge lived in one person.
New rules:
professional appraisal,
dual-control access,
independent storage,
movement logs,
photographic check-in and check-out,
children’s property separately marked.
The pearl locket received a new entry:
CLARA CALDWELL — PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Clara asked:
“Can I still keep it in my room?”
Arthur hesitated.
Then:
“Yes. But we’re putting a safe in your closet.”
Clara sighed.
“That’s boring.”
May you like
Arthur smiled.
“Boring is good.”
