It also seemed like they all had different schedules. “Why don’t we just tell everybody to come whenever they can?” Stevie asked. “Because then we’d end up with fourteen people in a room that can hold only four. Anyway, we only have six paintbrushes.” “And two cans of paint.” “That, too,” Carole agreed. “So you had this bright idea to ask everybody when they had time. Some of them wrote times they were available; others just said when they were busy. I think if we look at this carefully, we can figure out Dr. Faisal’s entire schedule for the week.” Dr. Faisal seemed to be everybody’s orthodontist, and apparently every single rider at Pine Hollow was getting his or her braces tightened during school vacation. “Well, his office is between school and the stable,” Stevie reminded her.
