Boxcar Children 12 - Houseboat Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
Benny climbed up the ladder to change the letters. He said, “I hate to take The Watch Alden down. But you’ve had your day, Watch. Today it will be The Mrs. McGregor." When Benny climbed down, Henry was saying, “I wish we could find out why those horses are so thin. We know that Mr. April pays Sam well.” Jessie added, “Sam said he gives as much as he can to Dolly.” “And we know Sam loves his horse,” said Violet. “It doesn’t seem to make sense.” Benny thought a minute. Then he laughed. “The only way to find out is to ask Sam,” he said. “Oh, no,” said Jessie, shaking her head. “I would never ask Sam!” “I would,” said Benny. “I bet Sam would tell me.” Henry laughed. “I bet he would, too, Ben. Try it! No harm done if he won’t tell.” Violet said, “Sam likes Benny. I think he would say that Benny was comical, just as Mr. Rivers did.” So the Aldens locked up the houseboat and went back to April Center. As they walked through the gate Benny looked around for Sam.
