Mirabelle #30 September 1967

In "null," Jo finds herself torn between ambition and loyalty when a high-profile fashion buyer visits her boss, leaving her eager to showcase her designs—yet hesitant to do so while Kate is his guest. Wes, ever the strategist, devises a clever ruse to present Carol’s work, only for the truth to reveal he’d already judged her unworthy. His bold defense of her, however, wins the buyer’s respect, leading to an unexpected offer that changes everything.

In "The Getaway Girls," Melanie, Hattie, and Lady Gwendolyn find themselves trapped at the Earl’s estate after being falsely accused of stealing jewels—until Warren arrives with an elephant to smash the bars. Escaping in a car, they’re startled to find Clare asleep under a blanket, and after a brief rest, they wake to learn their next performance is at the very school Clare fled. When Clare runs into her Uncle Ned, the tension spikes as bags slip and jewelry tumbles out.

In "The Blue Butterfly," Beth rushes to the hospital after learning Rob is injured, only to hear his story of defending her against the coffee bar crowd. Though she visits him daily, her heart sinks when she sees the same people who once mocked her now treating him with kindness—then finds he’s vanished without a word.

In "Cupid's Island," three weeks before her wedding, Sarah’s cousin Deb steps in when her fiancé threatens to call off the big day—only to orchestrate a surprise island getaway to force a reconciliation. Stranded together on a tiny, secluded patch of land, the couple must confront their growing distance, one awkward moment at a time.

In "Not My Scene at All!" from Mirabelle #30 (September 1967), Carol books a late-September getaway to Seaport on a travel agent’s recommendation—only to find the town eerily empty upon arrival. Just as she’s about to leave, the agent shows up, revealing the quiet seaside town was the only place open that late, and he’d been planning the perfect, solitary escape all along.
