“The first thing Lisa noticed as she walked across the pasture toward Evergreen Manor was that almost every light was turned on. Brightness spilled from the house, splashing from the unshuttered windows and spreading across the lawn at the front of the house in wide pools. As she crept closer to the fence bordering the lawns, Lisa crouched lower. She didn’t want anyone to see her, especially Mr. Pickering’s nephew, Jimmy. The last time Lisa had seen Jimmy, he had told her that Mr. Pickering wanted her to stop coming over to take care of the horses. Lisa didn’t know whether to believe Jimmy or not. It didn’t seem like the kind of thing Mr. Pickering would say. He had always been so kind to her. Lisa slipped through the fence and approached the house, avoiding the bright patches of lawn. I wish I could talk to Mr. Pickering, she thought, and stopped for a moment to glance up at his bedroom window. His window was one of the few that were dark. Maybe he’s in one of the rooms downstairs. I need to ask him if what Jimmy said was right, she decided. Mr. Pickering asked me to take care of the horses when he first fell sick, and I don’t know why he would change his mind.”

Maybe he just wanted to see the horses, to see if they were all right. Worrying about horses when he’s the one in trouble…old fool!”
