The Hamster of the Baskervilles
“Ferret Faucet There ought to be a law against Science Fair. To me, it's a bigger waste of time than teaching a pig to yodel. Unfortunately, Mr. Ratnose didn't see it that way.

My other teammates—Shirley Chameleon, Rynne Tintin, and a toad named Tiffany—gathered to check the connections. I pushed back my hat and sighed.
Then I figured, as long as we were there, I might as well do something helpful—like work on my case.MoreLess
