Rhoda's eyes grew wide as well as she processed what Tumbler had said. "You're the kid she was going to meet?" she asked in astonishment and mounting panic. "That's bad. She'd never just leave the two of us if she had any choice. she just doesn't do things like that" she ran a hand through her hair and her eyes darted around deparately as if she was sure that she would be able to find Gwennie if she just looked hard enough.
"Well," she sighed, her eyes settling on Tumbler again "I'd be glad to come with you but I'm inclined to suggest that we check the hospitals too. Because I just don't see anything short of a runaway carriage coming in between Gwennie, friends, and ducks"
"I guess we better start at the lodging house anyhow. You ever been there?" she asked, her voice growing more urgent with every moment. In the back of her mind she hoped that she wasn't being too bossy to the boy but she just couldn't help it. She had to take control of the situation. She was older and she knew Gwennie better. In fact Gwennie was one of only about three friends that she had and she didn't want to lose her.
((So much for making better time this time around. Sorry. I would say I'll do better this time but I won't have internet access all day tomorrow so I find it extremely unlikely that I'll be able to manage that))
