The Courage of Cat Campbell
“ABBOTT, THE HEADMASTER OF Potts Bottom Elementary, had gathered the whole school together so he could talk to them before dismissal that afternoon.
“Now, I know you have heard the news,” Mr. Abbott said, standing on a table at the front of the room. He was a little man and wanted to make sure everyone could see him. “But there is no need to panic.” He kept dabbing at his sweaty face with a handkerchief, and Cat thought he looked utterly terrified. “This matter will be taken care of by the guard...s at Scrubs Prison. They are trained to deal with witches from the dark side, and I have no doubt they will handle this in a swift and timely manner. So no one is to worry.” Mr. Abbott bared his teeth at them. It was meant to be a smile, Cat realized, but he looked more like one of Auntie Charlie’s snaggletoothed goats. The look was not reassuring.
Cat waited for Peter in the school yard. “All right, I’m ready for the spider,” she said as he came striding over. Peter tucked the container into the side pocket of Cat’s backpack, and she gave a little shudder.MoreLess
