chapter 22

In Which

Impending Doom

Comes in the

Front Door

On his way to get the second hose so that he could attach it to the first hose so that it would reach beyond Mrs. Maxwell’s prizewinning dahlia garden and all the way to Moxy’s new peach orchard, Sam stopped in the kitchen to eat three peaches.

“I’ve already had five,” said Pansy. She was standing on the counter eating what must have been her sixth peach.

Pansy was just about to reach for her seventh peach when her mother walked in.

Reader, I tremble still when I think of the moment Moxy’s mother walked into that kitchen at exactly 2:42 on that fateful afternoon of August 23.

“Hello, Sam,” Moxy’s mother said.

“Hello, Mrs. Maxwell,” said Sam.

“Hello, Pansy,” said Mother.

“Hi, Mom,” said Pansy.

Sam, who was always polite, took the great daisy cake in the big white cake box from Mrs. Maxwell’s arms and set it on the counter.
