  5. #4. At the end of this chapter Doug asked what Turtle's real name was. Flora said Alice but Grace said Tabitha-Ruth. I think it is because Turtle could be ashamed of her real name (I think her real name is Tabitha-Ruth) and wont want to tell anybody her real name.

    1. I disagree because Turtle could be telling the truth but her mom may want to deny it.

  6. #6 a larcenist is a person who participates in the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the taker's own use. Grace Wexler is called one on page 66.

  7. #2 Sydelle blames Mr.Hoo and Grace Wexler for stealing her notebook. it had a copy of the will in it, but it was written in shorthand and in nail polish. Ingenious, but I do wonder, do all girls carry around nail polish around with them? MAKEUP CRISIS! XD

    1. At first Sydelle is mad at Mr. Hoo but then he explains that he found the note book on the table that morning. Then he says that his partner, Grace Wexler can read short hand and then she sad that it was gibberish so Sydelle blames her instead.

    1. I wouldn't think that would be a dilemma because no tenant should even think about giving up their clues.

    2. That isn't exactly a dilemma because the tenants should never reveal their clues.
