The Lighthouse Mystery (2010)
“The storm had gone. Everyone got up early and went downstairs to see how Larry was. Dr. Phillips came early, too. Mr. and Mrs. Cook were still there, sitting by the bed.
“How is the boy?” asked Mr. Alden.
“He is very much better,” said Dr. Phillips. “But he still doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
“Oh.” said Benny, “I think he does.”
“And I do, too,” said Henry. “What is he saying?”
“Oh, the same old thing, about feeding the world. Will you tell me how that makes sense?”
“We’ll show you,” ...said Henry, “if it’s all right with Larry. That is better than telling. Mr. Cook and Grandfather, you can come with the doctor, too.”
“I don’t need to come,” said Mrs. Cook smiling, “I know all about it. I used to take Larry his supper every night. Here is a key. Your dog always barked and I was sure you’d come out and question me. I’ll stay with Larry now.”
“Eat anything you see,” said Larry, almost smiling.
Then the Aldens led the men down the path to the little white house.MoreLess
