Chapter+21

In this chapter, Winnie came home to smiles and hugs. She told her family about the Tucks, and how sweet they were to her. They didn't belive her though. Her grandmother said that the elves took her and made her think that. How frusterating! After that she told them about the man in the suit being hit. Winnie asked them if the wood really was the man's now. They said yes. When she finally got to bed, everyone looked at her like she was different. Soon, they left her alone and she climbed into her old rocker, she needed comforting. Then the constable rode up, and her father answered the door, he said that the man was dead. After that he said that Mae would go to the gallows now. Winnie thought of how once, she had killed a wasp out of fright, and then felt sorry for it. She wondered if Mae was sad for the man in the yellow suit. She realized that Mae had killed the man on purpose, and for Winnie. She hit the man on the head so that Winnie could get away from him, since he was trying to make her drink the water. She realized all of the sudden that Mae mustn't go to the gallows. Cliffhanger!
