Agnes Birdhop, Finder

We got this woman right outside the Harper town limits what are real good at finding things. She's got this sign in her front yard what says: AGNES BIRDHOP, FINDER OF THINGS. When peoples loses their keys or insurance policies or other important things, she will come over to their house and more often than not she'll find what they lost. Even when she don't find what she come to find she will usually find something. Like one time when this Mrs. Cuddlebrand were missing the papers saying her cow were registered and she needed it before she could sell it. Agnes didn't find the cow papers but she did find twenty dollars in a jacket what were hanging in a back closet unused since last winter. She charged ten dollars for that visit. In fact, she will tell you whats it gonna cost before she comes over. Agnes are a right nice looking woman, but she ain't never married. Dorothy overheard her talking at the beauty parlor one day. Somebody asked Agnes if she were so good at finding things why she ain't never found a man. And Agnes said she had found plenty of men she just ain't never found the one she were looking for.
