The next afternoon, the Aldens headed out for their appointment at the QuestMaster Company, just outside Greenfield. Ive never driven a car full of magic Ringmasters around before, Grandfather said. And heres the place where they make the magic, he a
Mr. Alden had to wait for his game of checkers. The children spent the whole evening getting their new computer up and running. The next morning, they went straight to the computer before breakfast. Looks like another day of playing solitaire, not ch
A ghost horse! Benny said excitedly as they walked back to Gullwing Cottage. Neat! Now, Benny, Jessie said gently. Its just a story. I bet Mr. Toler likes to tell stories. But it could be true, Benny insisted. Violet silently agreed with her little b
I saw Magic, Benny declared the next morning. The other children stopped fixing breakfast and stared at him. Grandfather had left for an early-morning exercise class at the Seagull Resort. You saw what? asked Henry. Magic, the ghost horse. He was on
The children gathered in the living room to discuss what they should do next. But how can we prove that Winifred took Midnight? Violet asked. We cant, said Henry. Not yet, at least. Well need to look for evidence that Midnight was stolen. But we cant
The next morning Benny climbed up to the roof of the houseboat. He called down to Jessie, Look here and see if I have the new name right. Oh, this is my day! Jessie said, as she read The Jessie Alden. I like having a houseboat named for me. Henry ask
CHAPTER 8 From the South Seas I have an idea for today, said Mr. Alden at breakfast on Monday. See this paper, Henry? In Ashland, the next town, ships come in from all over the world. From Blue Bay? shouted Benny. Well, you are right, said Grandfathe
CHAPTER 7 Baked Beans and Chowder Henry went to the store to get the paper. He nearly bumped into the Cook boy coming out. The angry look on his face kept Henry from even trying to say hello. Whats up now? Henry wondered. Then he forgot about the boy
CHAPTER 6 Well Done for Benny Lets have a picnic, said Violet after the Aldens had made as many guesses as they could about what went on in the summer kitchen. We have a picnic every meal, I should say, said Benny. We always eat outdoors on our own r
What excitement there was in Port Elizabeth when the people heard about Freddy! It was hard for them to believe that the Money Man had cheated them. But when Mr. Carter told them that just one of the old valentines was worth many dollars, they change
It was quiet in the caboose while Jessie laid out Violets scissors and threaded a needle. Grandfather sat by his window as he always did, but the others sat around the table with Jessie. Benny asked, Are you going to mend my mattress way up in the lo
The next day everyone saw Freddy Willet coming and going about the island in his red sports car. But no one ever saw him open the trunk, and there were no boxes in the front of the car. He must be hiding the library books in the schoolhouse, said Ben
The Aldens could hardly teach school on Monday with Mr. Willet making calls on every family in the village. All the children knew about it. They couldnt help talking about it. At recess they did not want to play. They wanted to talk. Oh, my mas got a
The picnic was over. The Aldens sat looking out over the blue water when the factory whistle blew. Oh, dear, said Benny. Now everyone will go to work and nobody will be at home when Freddy comes. They dont all go to work, said Jessie. By the way, I n
The knocking on the caboose door grew louder and louder. Who can that be? Henry asked as he went to open the door. Oh, its Al! Come right in! Al said, I came to invite you to dinner at noon in our work-caboose. What fun! said Benny. Are you going to

The train was creeping along. It had hardly left the freight yard in the city. I wonder why we dont go faster, said Henry. He looked out of the window. Jessie said, Maybe they have to go slowly when they have just turned the train around. But then th
It was not far from Glass Factory to Pinedale. Suddenly Jessie said, Grandfather, lets have a party for the train crew and the people at Pinedale. We have big boxes of cookies. And I could use up all the canned orange juice and mix it with coke. Do y
When Mr. Alden met his grandchildren at noon they were all bursting with news. Mr. Alden certainly had news, too, but he did not tell it then. Nobody thought of lunch. They were too busy talking. Henry was the one to tell his grandfather about the to
