A Week in the Woods
“Maxwell about fifteen minutes to locate Mrs. Stearns. After checking over at the girl’s cabins, he walked back and found her at the main lodge.
Taking her aside, he explained what he had to do. “And I’m going to have to leave you in charge for a couple of hours, all right?”

But sooner or later everybody’s got to learn that ‘no’ means ‘no,’ even when your daddy’s got half a bill...ion dollars. I’ll keep things on track here, Bill, but please hurry back.”
Walking along the roadway toward the gatehouse, Mr. Maxwell assured himself that he was doing the right thing. The rules are the rules, and they’ve got to be obeyed, he said to himself. I can’t make an exception here, not even if I wanted to.
And the odd thing was, part of Mr. Maxwell wanted to. He almost wished he could let Mark off the hook.
He had watched Mark earlier during the scavenger hunt.MoreLess
