Singing and Searching

Emma Jean got quite a following when she were singing at the Roosevelt. It were war time like I said a lot of the audience was soldiers. During her songs she would wander through the crowd looking for Charles Boyer. The hotel give her a nice room and her meals, what wadn't a big deal since she warn't eating much them days. Later after all this ended I seen a poster of her what hung outside the hotel. She were down right beautiful. Nobody from Harper could possibly have figured out who she were.
One night while she were walking around singing Blue Moon, she spotted a ring on one of the ladies' fingers. She stayed at that table until her song were over and made a big to do with the woman about how pretty it were. The woman laughed and laughed. She said she had picked it up in a pawn shop across the river. Emma Jean were sure it were the ring she had talked her mama into giving to Charles Boyer when he
were conning the peoples in Harper. Of course Emma Jean didn't know he were a crook. She found this out later on. Spotting this ring were her first clue about where Charles had run off to.
