"We can't let her tell the reverend he didn't get everyone. Come on, help me find something to tie her up with."

"Tie up Miss Brigham? We can't do that!"

"We don't have any choice." Samantha searched the room until she found John, Helena's former boyfriend, nestled snugly in his shirt, sucking his thumb. She took the britches he no longer needed and used them to tie Miss Brigham's hands. Another pair of pants went around her ankles and then a sock into her mouth.

"What do we do now?" Prudence asked.

"We wait," Samantha said.
