            excitedly. “I love your hair, Abby! I wish I

            could have red streaks in mine too! Come on,

            Jay. We’re leaving in fifteen minutes. We’ll be

            going through the long grasses next. It’ll be

            great! We can play hide and seek!”

               “It’s going to be difficult getting out of

            here,” Abby was saying. “The others will

            wonder where we’ve gone.”
