Henry glanced at Benny in astonishment. Then he quickly dashed forward. Ducking his head, he examined the horse. “Benny’s right,” he called out.

Standing up, Henry said in a puzzled tone, “That beautiful horse isn’t finished. Someone left it only partly painted.”

“Surely Gustav Dentzel would carefully paint every inch of his horses,” Jessie said, a frown crossing her face.

“Oh, no,” Joshua Eaton groaned, checking out the horse for himself.

Violet’s heart felt heavy. Had another horse of Joshua’s been tampered with? Who would do such a thing to this splendid carousel?

Just then Ned joined them. “What’s the matter now?” he asked in an annoyed tone.

“The brown horse isn’t completely painted,” Henry said. He didn’t like talking to Ned. The man was short-tempered and didn’t seem to care at all about the merry-go-round he operated.

“This is terrible,” Joshua said. “Dentzel would never have sold an imperfect horse.”

“What are you so upset about?” Ned growled with a shrug. “It’s only a couple of merry-go-round horses.”

But it was plain that Joshua was upset.

“We’d better go home,” Jessie urged.

Joshua nodded absentmindedly as he walked away with his head down.

Leaving the amusement park, the children glimpsed Karen, carrying a clipboard. She was checking the House of Mirrors entrance. She glanced up but seemed to look right past the Aldens as she hurried on.

Jessie gave a discouraged sigh. If Karen had her way, a roller coaster would be installed. Then the amusement park wouldn’t be the same.
