Oh, no, another one taken in by kindness. LOL. Yes, sometimes just having an old boy isn't a bad thing. But if you aren't careful, they turn out to be a habit. Thanks for sharing.

Boys? A habit? You might be right. Thank you for your kind review. Gretchen
Comment from Begin Again
Good morning -
Thank you for taking me along on this journey with Heddy and Lester. Their dialogue seemed so natural as each began to learn more about the other. I foresee some interesting adventures unfolding in the future.
Lester must be relieved to escape Mrs. Colette...
Wonderful!
Smiles, Carol

Thank you, Carol. I'm happy you like this story. I'm sure Lester is glad to be away from his Aunt. Gretchen
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a really sweet chapter as the two young people get to know each other. Lester's Mom's description of his aunt makes it perfectly clear what her character is and it explains why she didn't get him any clothes that fit.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I'm happy Heddy has decided to give Lester a chance. I think it will work out great and they'll have interesting adventures.
He's as exciting as a glass of buttermilk. (Great description, but I'm wondering if Lester might discover himself while with Heddy. LOL)

Comment from John Ciarmello
You have some hilarious lines in this chapter, Gretchen. That's always welcome in my book.
I had a good feeling Lester and Heddy would become friends.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is very rich in character description. I especially liked when Lester became nervous of the edge of the road, and when Heddy persuades him of the advantages of taking his shoes off. kay

Comment from pome lover
wonderfully written. You get the reader interested in the characters immediately with their natural dialogue ad feelings that kids have, and, you end the chapter with Hettie realising Lester's not so bad, white legs and all.
I love good dialogue and this story uses it very successfully.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Good morning, Gretchen,
There is so much to appreciate and enjoy about this chapter: characters, dialogue, and setting...coupled with beautiful descriptions of scenery and details = esp. about Lester's toes getting stuck and bunched up in shoes that don't fit.
You have a treasure with this story, Gretchen!
Thank you for sharing!
Keep it going!
Fondly,
diane
