On Wednesday morning, Ms. Hussey contacted the five kids with more news: Mrs. Sharpe had felt unwell during the night. Not wanting any of the reporters to get wind of another possible trustee emergency, she’d refused to go to the hospital, insisting that rest at home would help. She had, however, invited the kids to set up a meeting room in the attic of her house, and asked Ms. Hussey to welcome them. In addition, she’d invited the other trustees to come to the house for tea that afternoon.

“It sounds like a madhouse,” Ms. Hussey told Tommy when she called. “But that’s what she wants. Maybe having your own workspace, away from each other’s homes, will be good. How about it?”

The five met in front of Mrs. Sharpe’s house at eleven o’clock. A young man in a black jacket lounged on a garden wall across the street, picking intently at a fingernail. Another paced back and forth at the end of the block.

After all that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, the five paid no more attention to these guys than they might have to a couple of crows, which was probably a mistake.
