The Main Ingredient
The one thing that even the workers were confused about when they saw the purse, was a letter inside it. The paper that the letter was written on made it seem like the letter was written years ago. Did the workers open the letter or not?
Character
All the ingredients that were present in the purse made a lot of things clear. The contents of the purse gave an idea about how the woman was, her liking, disliking, and the letter were going to make some very huge revelations.
Cosmetics
There was a lipstick inside the purse, a Kleenex with coral-colored smudges on it, a compact, a hairpin, and some juicy fruit gum wrappers. The question was, what was a letter doing in between all these cosmetics?
Identity
One thing that gave a hint about the identity of the woman to whom the purse might belong was a bus schedule and fixture listing, and it was a very old one. The bus schedule was of the Jeffersonville High School itself, and it was for the 1953-54 basketball team of the school.
Unbelievable
Murmurs started to do the rounds in the half-dismantled science room that was occupied by the workers. They were all stunned to see that the purse they had found was more than 50 years old. How was it still there?
Hand Over
The workers knew that it was now time for them to hand over the purse and all its belongings to the authority of the school so that it could reach its rightful owner. And that started the enigmatic story of the purse and its owner.
