Gib And the Gray Ghost
“Hy wasn’t any help whatsoever. The damp, chilly weather had set his broken bones to aching, which always made him silent and extra ornery. So when Gib started in, once or twice, by asking if Hy thought Mrs. Thornton would ever sell Silky, all he got was a snort and a growling “Not likely, but you never know.”
Miss Hooper was no help either. Not because she wasn’t talking but because it wasn’t easy to find her alone. In fact, looking to find a moment alone with Miss Hooper put Gib in mind of how... hard it had been to find a minute to talk to Miss Mooney way back when he’d been a junior orphan and there were thirty other juniors trying to horn in on the conversation. There’d been one chance on Monday morning when Gib reported to the library a little early. Miss Hooper was already at the table but there was no sign of Livy. Gib hurriedly pulled out his chair, sat down—and then waited. Miss Hooper was reading a book by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Gib waited impatiently, glancing now and then at the door, where Livy would be appearing at any moment.MoreLess
