Tulip When Lucinda and Frances got back home Mrs. Sagal was re-planting a shrub from a pot to the flower garden in the front yard. “Hi girls!” she said. “What have you two been up to? … are you hungry? I just finished my breakfast but I can fix something for you.” “Mom, it’s got to be lunch time by now,” said Lucinda. “Nope,” said her mom looking at her watch. “It’s only 10:15 … Is Frances spending the night? I assume you’ve had a talk by now.” “Yes, she’s spending the night … you’re spending the night, Frances, call your mom and let her know,” said Lucinda. “What’s up with that ‘time warp’ thing?” asked Frances finally. “We don’t know, actually, it just happens every time we leave Ambur’s house,” said Lucinda. At dinner that night, after Jackie finished and went up to her room, Lucinda told her mom and dad what happened that day. They wanted to make sure Jackie didn’t hear because she had not been able to meet Ambur and Honeysuckle yet, while Frances had. They told them about the ‘what-ever-you-want’ muffins and Honeysuckle’s hand carved piano in the rose room. And Frances got to play her piano and she and Ambur and Honeysuckle had listened on the couch. And Lucinda told them that Frances figured out the riddle. “It was just a wonderful day,” said Lucinda. “Would you slide the pizza box over here, I think I’d like another piece.” “Yes, I thought it was a great day too,” said Frances. “I’m glad Lucinda woke me up at the crack of dawn this morning.” Lucinda said, “I don’t think it was actually the crack of dawn. And besides, you shouldn’t sleep your life away anyhow.” “You mean anyway,” said Kimberly. “What ever,” said Lucinda. Frances and Lucinda watched a movie on TV after dinner and then went up to Lucinda’s room. Th... ... middle of paper ... ...ll Lucinda,” Honeysuckle sighed. “It is not gold colored, either. It’s gold.” “Solid gold?” asked Lucinda. “No one has a solid gold bathtub.” “It was easier to do that than having a regular bathtub plated. We just made it here and was done with it,” said Honeysuckle. “Well,” said Frances, “I suppose if Tulip wants to go to college that won’t be a problem.” “Trolls don’t go to school, Frances!” said Lucinda. “How many trolls have you seen walking around our school?” Kimberly then popped in, “I think we’re all about ready to go Lucinda.” Both girls gave Honeysuckle one last hug and told her they’d be back soon. Back up the stairs and out the door toward home. Jam helped out again with lamps lit and ready to go. Ambur lets Sampson out to fly and get a little exercise. He won’t really do any hunting ‘til morning. But Sampson stayed out all that night to keep watch.
...h and every chair and thing. Commenced to sing, commenced to sob to sigh, singing and sobbing. Then Tea Cake came prancing around her where she was and the song of the sigh flew out of the window and lit in the top of the pine trees. Tea Cake, with the sun for a shawl. Of course he wasn’t dead. He could never be dead until she herself had finished feeling and thinking. The kiss of his memory made pictures of love and light against the wall. Here was peace.” Janie lay in her bed reminiscing and is convinced that Tea will stay in her memory until the day she dies, after that day she will be together with him again – together with Tea Cake in heaven. The emptiness in Janie that was present in her before she left town with Tea Cake has subsided. Due to the love of Tea Cake let her know, Janie is now complete, the bee has nurtured the flower, and allowed it to grow.
She could not believe that she was going to pick up Helen Keller at the hotel. She was so excited that she started to dream about when she was a little girl and her father had given her the story of Helen Keller written by Annie Sullivan. When she arrived at the hotel, she got out of her car to greet Helen Keller and Polly Thomson. She took Helen's hand and placed her in the car with Mrs. Thomson. Then it came to her mind that they were going to be taking a very dangerous ride when they were to go up to the house. There were no sides to the car, so when she took very sharp turns, she was afraid that Helen might fall out of the car. So she warned them about the sharp and steep turns. When they got to this part of the journey, Helen started to sing, "This is fun!" and then she cried out, "Lovely!" When they reached the house, she helped the two women out of the car to greet Margot. She was invited to have lunch with Margot, Mrs. Thomson and Helen. They drove to the restaurant and went to sit down at their table. When Helen sat down, she felt around her area so she knew where her fork, spoon, knife, and plate were, and sat patiently.

At this, Becca laughed, since she’d visited her mom that afternoon she’d felt happier. Sitting here with Nolan and talking about her mom, it was nice.
Speaking up quickly, Margaret said, “We’ve not eaten. When your dad heard about Katherine, he forgot about dinner and wanted to get over here to be with you guys.”

However, she stayed in Sterling’s bedroom and was not happy when the raccoon came in to sleep in his bed in the room at night.

So Ambur waited on the back porch while Lucinda asked her mom and dad to come out. “What’s so important at 9:30 at night that can’t wait till morning?” asked her mom when they stepped out on the back porch. Ambur was sitting on one of the rocking chairs smoking his pipe.
“No,” Colleen replied, “I had nothing to do this morning. I was at the donut shop and thought I would spend the day with you if that is alright.”
Benjimin ran into his mother's outstretched arms. Noelle couldn’t figure out what good it would bring to allow young kids to attend such a horrid event. She rubbed his back and looked wearily at her daughter who would have to deal with Benjimins nightmares for the next few days. Holland was more of a mother to Benjimin than Noelle was, only because Noelle worked so much to get them a bit of food each night. Her hours were long and hard, when she arrived home, all she could do was sleep.
She groaned again and checked her phone again. She massaged her aching head, struggling to make her brain work and realized her roommate, Nicholas, would be getting home from class soon if he wasn't going straight to swim practice. Maybe if she could get him to take pity on her he would go get her something from the deli across the street... Roslyn looked at the coffee table and its strewn detritus. "Oh shit," she said again. She remembered that, when she had drunk all her wine, she had then drunk all of Nicholas's beer without asking him first. Well, she thought, maybe if she offered to pay for the beer and for dinner for both of them she could convince him to go get it for the two of
After school, Chloe went to Sam’s house to see if she was okay. When she arrived at Sam’s house, she saw that Sam wasn’t there.There was only one other place she could be. Chloe ran deep into the woods behind her neighborhood, to where the abandoned tree house stood. Chloe climbed the wooden ladder and opened the trapdoor, to find an empty room. There was nothing in the room except for some old board games and a crisp red envelope with her name on it. She checks her phone and finds that it is almost time for dinner. Chloe
