In the Bishop’s Carriage

Nancy Olden has a stolen watch tucked inside her waist and a man in a cap on her trail—then she spots a red coat so splendid she can’t resist slipping into it.

In the bustle of a crowded city station, Nancy is trying to stay calm, pass for a respectable college girl, and keep one step ahead of the police. A stolen watch, a borrowed coat, and an empty carriage seem like lucky breaks—until the carriage proves to belong to a gentle Bishop, who mistakes the quick-witted fugitive for his daughter. Nancy’s improvisations are as bold as they are precarious, and the Bishop’s kindness may be harder to escape than the man pursuing her. How long can she keep up the family act before the truth catches up with her?
