Tallahassee Higgins
“Jane was at the orthodontist, safely away from my influence, so I hopped on my bike and rode over to Mrs. Russell's. I wasn't ready to give up on her yet.
I found her in her backyard hanging a sheet on a clothesline stretched from the porch to the garage. Bo was frisking around, snapping at the towels blowing in the breeze.
"Do you want some help?" I vaulted over the fence again, leaving my bike locked to one of the palings.
Mrs. Russell mumbled something that sounded like yes through a mouthfu...l of old-fashioned wooden clothespins.
"Don't you have a clothes dryer?" I grabbed one end of a wet sheet and struggled to pin it to the line.
Dumping the clothespins into a little bag hanging on the line, she said, "On nice days like this, I hang my sheets and towels outside. It makes them smell good." She yanked a corner of a sheet away from Bo. "No, Bo! Bad dog!" Bo immediately sat down and looked so ashamed of himself that I couldn't help laughing.
"Want me to take him for a walk?" I asked. "We could play in the park or something." "I suppose that would be all right." Mrs.MoreLess
