Chapter 36
The three musketeers returned to the bungalow in time to celebrate Little Thomas’s birthday. Bart brought a little wooden choo choo with wheels that actually turned, and if George hadn’t already been in love with him, he would have fallen head over heels right then. Little Thomas also received a tugboat, a ball, and a snuggly lamb made of real sheepskin. Mama sewed him a new suit of clothes. Frank gave him a cloth book with pictures of the alphabet and animals that went along with them.
“I found it in London,” he said, blushing a little.
And while George loved Frank for thinking of his brother, he had no desire to drag Frank off to bed.
Little Thomas sat in his highchair and clapped his hands as Mrs. Hall brought out the cake with a single candle on it.
“Blow, Little Bit.”
