"It sounds like somewhere movie stars would stay.""It might be like a palace!" Meg exclaimed.Mom had stopped in front of a tall brownstone. It was covered in crumbly plaster that might once have been brown, but now looked almost black. Over the battered door was a wooden sign with iron letters that read "DIAMOND HOTEL." The twins' mouths dropped open."It's called that because 'Diamond' is Saffron's last name," Mom explained, raising her voice as one of the workmen at the archway turned on a big drill. The vibrations made the ground rumble. Bits of plaster fell off the front of Diamond Hotel and showered down on the twins' heads. Plunk! The hotel sign landed at their feet.Meg and Charlie looked at each other. What would Diamond Hotel be like inside?
