Chapter 6

SWEET-AND-SHOWER

The girls huddled close against the tree to hear more. Dorothy’s voice carried loud and clear.

“I’ll see you at ten o’clock at your baby shower tomorrow, Eileen,” she said into her phone. “In the meantime, I’ve got a ton of work to do tonight.”

Nancy, Bess, and George peeked out to watch Dorothy climb into her van before she started it and drove up Main Street.

“We have to go to Mrs. MacDuff’s baby shower tomorrow,” Nancy said as they hurried out from behind the tree. “Then we’ll be able to see those rubber ducks with our own eyes.”

“But we weren’t invited,” George protested.

“Mrs. MacDuff is our school librarian,” Nancy explained. “We can pretend we’re dropping by to say congratulations.”

“Drop by where?” Bess asked. “We don’t know where Mrs. MacDuff lives.”

“She lives on Poppy Street,” George said confidently. “My mom and I went to her yard sale last spring.”

“Poppy Street is just four blocks away from my house,” Nancy said. “We can all walk to the baby shower together.” Then she wrote the name of the street in her clue book. “Meet me at my house tomorrow morning at ten o’clock. That’s the time Dorothy said she’d be getting to the party.”

Bess gave a little excited hop. “We’re going to a baby shower! I’m going to wear my new green sundress and white sandals.”

“I’ll wear a dress too,” Nancy said. “What are you going to wear, George?”

She shrugged. “I’ll think of something.”

Bess frowned, glancing down at George’s holey sneakers. “That’s what I’m afraid of.”
