“This is a science project!” yelled Ivy.

Katy paid no attention to them. One thing about Katy hadn’t changed. She had always been a tough cookie. “March!” she bellowed, and pulled on her end of the rope.

“No!” said Ivy.

“March or I’ll cook you alive!” shrieked Katy. She yanked on the rope again, and Ivy and Bean almost fell over.

Across the street, Sophie W. came out on her porch and saw Ivy and Bean’s tied hands. “Whatcha doing?” she called.

“These are my orphan prisoners!” hollered Katy. “Come on! You can be the other cruel matron.”

“You’re stopping scientific progress!” Ivy yelled.

“Right!” yelled Bean. “This is about global warming!”

“Wrong!” yelled Katy. “This is about orphans!”

Sophie W. ran around Pancake Court, and joined Katy dragging them along the sidewalk. Ivy and Bean twisted and turned their hands, but they couldn’t undo the knots in the rope.

“Now let’s dump them in the orphanage basement,” Sophie said. She pointed at Katy’s front yard. “That’s the orphanage basement.”

“And then let’s give them the rack,” suggested Katy.

“HEY!” yelled Ivy and Bean together.

“Oh, don’t worry,” said Sophie. “We won’t hurt you for real.”

Katy cackled. She might hurt them for real.

She tied them tightly to her porch railing. “Let’s get another rope,” she said. “So we can stretch them.”

“Yeah!” said Sophie W.

Together, they ran off, laughing.

“Boy,” said Bean. “That Katy is a wacko. Let’s get out of here.”

They wiggled their hands, trying to loosen the ropes. It was too bad that Ivy’s mom tied knots so well.

“You know,” said Ivy. “This is exactly what Dottsy must feel like.”
