Only a line of hedges separated the Gregorys' Villa from the Burtons' Mansion.
From both yards, one could clearly see into the other's.
So, not only was Ruby Gregory close with Steve Burton, but she knew all of the Burtons' family members well, from the old to the young.
On this Saturday morning, Ruby woke up early. From the second-floor balcony, she could see the lines of luxury cars parked at the Burton Mansion.
Last night, Ruby had made a point to note that the car Steve drove back to the mansion was a Porsche.
After breakfast, Ruby went upstairs again to glance at the Burton's parking lot. Upon seeing that Steve's Porsche was gone, she brushed her teeth, put on some sky-blue sportswear and went downstairs.
In the backyard of the Gregorys' home, two rows of vegetables were growing. Since it was harvest season, Ruby picked out some fresh vegetables, had the maid pack them into a basket, and headed to the Burtons'.
