Miss Marple is enjoying a party when she is accosted by a pair of lovebirds who think that a recently deceased uncle has buried their inheritance. The nave pair expect her to instantaneously summon forth the location of the illusive treasure. Our careful observer of human nature knows that an examination of the scene is needed.
