The Penderwicks in Spring (2015)
“For once, she hardly cared, too delighted to see that Oliver’s sleek car was no longer in the driveway. Hoping that he was gone forever, she rushed into the house and ended up in the kitchen, where dinner preparations were in full swing. Mr. Penderwick was chopping up vegetables for quesadillas, Rosalind was pulling a cake out of the oven, Jeffrey was shredding cheese, and Iantha was cooking up small, plain cheese quesadillas for Lydia, who was to be fed before the big dinner got rolling. Then ...there were the nonworkers: Lydia in her high chair, wearing both her crown and her lamb bib, her new pink rabbit beside her; Jane sitting cross-legged on the floor, in everyone’s way; Ben, strutting around, showing off his new Celtics T-shirt; and Asimov, sticking close to Jeffrey, hoping for falling cheese.
Batty sidled up to Ben and whispered, “Where’s Oliver?”
“He left,” Ben whispered back.
“For good?”
Ben shook his head. “I don’t think so.”
Rats. But even for a brief time, it was a treat to have Rosalind on her own, just like it used to be.MoreLess
