Chapter+20+&+21

In this chapter, the constable takes Winnie home. Since he saw Mae hit the stranger in his head, he says that she must go to the gallows - if the man dies. Winnie lies and says that she came to the Tucks on her own will. Then she says that the Tucks are her friends, which is true. The constable is very surprised. He puts Mae on the horse, and takes Winnie home, and Mae to the new jail. Tuck is very, very shaky. He is also lost in thought. Mae wouldn't die at the gallows, but their secret would be out. That would be awful!
