“Good enough,” she decided. “Remember, Hud, you’ll be selling these buttercrumblies to Snooks. He’s the von Kriks’ butler, and I’m counting on him to have a sweet tooth, too.” She pinched Hudson’s cheeks and poofed his hair. “Speak loud and repeat everything Snooks says so I can echolocate.”

Hudson looked perplexed. “And you promise, if I sell these cookies, that you’ll help me with my project?”

They left the apartment together. Maddy watched her brother cross the street and knock on the von Kriks’ front door before she ducked down the alley and crouched by the pantry entrance, the closest she could get to the Kriks without being inside. She could feel the curse Snooks had set against her hanging thick as a frozen fog around the house. Dang that Snooks and his Unvitation!

“Hello, sir.” Hudson’s voice was light as meringue. “My name is Henrietta Hudson, and I wanted to know if you’d like to buy some Elf Scout cookies?”

Maddy snickered. Hudson sounded so sweet and innocent. How could Snooks not take the bait?

“Of course you can sample one,” said Hudson.

Maddy’s fangs gnashed. O Unhappy Day! What kind of dimwit Elf Scout was Henrietta Hudson, anyhow? Offering free tastes was absolutely against Elf protocol. “No samples!” Maddy bounced the words like a punch. Too late.
