Cash & Carry (Mayfield Cozy Mystery book 4)
“No matter what had happened overnight, twenty-two hungry boys had to be fed. It was also chore time, and the halls were crowded with boys intent upon their designated tasks.
Walt was in the kitchen supervising, but discretely so, from his position near the window. Thomas, my favorite dreadlocked fifteen-year-old, creatively choreographed the lineup of bread slices in front of the rotisserie-style toaster with a wood-handled paint brush that had been commissioned as a butter slatherer. Two y...ounger boys with dishtowels draped over their shoulders bickered in undertones about the proper way to turn scrambled eggs on the griddle. If nothing else, all the boys under Walt’s tutelage could get jobs as short-order cooks when they graduated from the camp.

“Not yet.”
“Then you’ll eat, at least.”MoreLess
