“Stay out of where?” Henry asked. “What are you talking about?”

Benny held up a candy heart. “That’s what it says. It’s like one of the hearts Mrs. Winkles gave us.”

While the children were talking, a man in a brown uniform pushed a hand truck into the shop. “Hi, kids. I see you found the free candy they keep around here. This is one of my favorite stops.”

When the deliveryman went over to the counter to pick up a pile of boxes, Henry followed him. “I’ll give you a hand. There are an awful lot of packages.”

“Thanks,” the man said. “I can’t let you handle the packages. But you can hold my hand truck steady while I pile the shipments on it. Let’s see.” The man began to read the labels: “Sturgis, Wilder, Boxer”

“Boxer!” the Aldens all cried at the same time.

“I sure don’t want to forget this one,” the deliveryman said. “He’s a tough customer. And he got me in some trouble with a few of my customers. Blamed me for mixing up some of my deliveries.” The man stopped. “I can’t really discuss this. Let’s just say there have been a few mix-ups with that guy.”

“Candy mix-ups?” Jessie asked.

The man pushed his hand truck out the door. “I guess you could say that.”
