| f41fd33 | The first thing he usually did when he got home was shower, but today he could scarcely make it into the house because the boys were blocking the steps. "How y'doin'?" he said, maneuvering around them and going inside. The boys got up and followed him. "Anything exciting happen today?" Jake inquired. "I told Mrs. Blake I wouldn't deliver her mail unless she kept her dog in the house," Father said. "Almost got my pants torn off by that beas.. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| 4987098 | They're coming!" Josh yelled. Like a whirlwind the twins rushed downstairs, where Peter was waiting. With Wally bringing up the rear they all went outside. The two older Malloy sisters, wearing jeans and long shirts down to their knees, were walking arm in arm across the swinging bridge, leaning on each other, like two girls who had more sadness than they could possibly bear, Wally thought. As they came closer, the Hatford brothers pretende.. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||

| 0698e0c | She followed Wally up front where Miss Applebaum was placing two chairs, face to face, about three feet apart. "I want you to sit here," she told them, "and I want you to talk to each other for ten minutes. Perhaps at the end of that time you will have said everything there is to say, and there will be no more disturbances in class." Caroline thought. She would rather be paddled! One minute would be bad enough, five minutes would be cruel .. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| bd15636 | When they reached the house, Wally took a box of crackers up to his room and sat on the floor to eat them, his back against his bed. He still couldn't believe that he was the one who had officially declared war on the Malloys. How had it happened? Only a week before he was lying on his back in the grass, and now here he was: Number One on their Most-Wanted list. He was on bad terms already with his teacher, had almost broken Caroline's nose.. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| 1a89be3 | I supposed we just ring the doorbell and say, 'Look, let's bury the hatchet and be friends,'" Beth suggested. The girls looked at each other and smiled a little. "Naw," said Caroline. "This is a lot more fun." | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| 95a7310 | Eddie, Beth, and Caroline, this is . . ." She paused, waiting for the boys to say their own names. "Josh," said Jake. "Jake," said Josh. "Peter," said Wally. "Wally," said Peter." | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| 37076ce | Now, what's this all about?" she demanded. "They started it, Mom," said Caroline, wringing out the tail of her shirt. "We did not!" said Jake hotly. "Eddie turned the hose on Josh." "He dropped his bucket on purpose!" cried Beth. "I did not!" said Josh. Mrs. Malloy looked around curiously. "You kids hardly know each other! How did you get to be enemies so soon?" Wally looked at Caroline. his eyes told her." | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| f74bfc3 | She says she'll return my briefs if you return her paper, Wally. Do you know what she's talking about?" Wally nodded and swallowed. "Tell her I'll return the paper if she returns the flashlight." Mr. Hatford spoke into the phone again. "He says he'll return the paper if you return the flashlight. Don't ask me what's going on around here. I'm only their father . . . Okay, five minutes from now on the bridge . . . He'll be there." Wally's fat.. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
| d800e75 | Three figures huddled on the widow's walk on top of the Hatford's house. Rain beat steadily down on their yellow slickers and the air was cold. "Even if we catch pneumonia and die, it's worth it," said Caroline, her teeth chattering. "Even if we fall off the roof and break both legs," Eddie agreed. "One more time?" Beth asked. "No. Didn't you hear them running? Let's wait until we think they've forgotten about it, then sock it to them agai.. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||

| 8e30cde | It's hard to sleep that night. Our sofa's got more lumps than bean soup, and every time I turn over, I pull out the blanket from the bottom. I get up about two in the morning and stand at the window. Moon's almost full, and the snow sparkles like diamonds. I'm not lookin' for moonlight or snowlight, though--only Shiloh. We keep the shed door open on nights like this so he can go in there and sleep if he comes back late. But I know my dog; h.. | Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | ||
