“Wait a second,” he said. “It’s not like I can’t come back here.”
Prince Robert could do anything!
He could come back later for all his junk. Or better yet, send a servant for it.
“Do you want to live in a castle, General?” he asked his lizard.
General Jackson stuck out his tongue.
Jacob came in. “I just thought of something, Mar,” he said. “Maybe Mom and Dad are really the kidnappers.”
“I thought about that too,” said Marvin. “But then she wouldn’t take me for the blood test. It’d be too risky.”
“Unless.…” said Jacob.
“What?”
“Unless she’s not really going to take you.”
“What do you mean?”
“No, never mind,” said Jacob. “If she killed you, she’d have to kill me and Linzy too. She wouldn’t do that.”
“Probably not,” Marvin agreed. “Not Linzy, anyway.”
“Marvin!” shouted Linzy from the bottom of the stairs. “Time to go!”
They got in the car.
Jacob and Linzy were going along. They planned to meet Mr. Redpost for dinner in the city.
“You’re welcome to come to dinner too, Prince,” said Mrs. Redpost. “If you’re not too busy.”
“Thank you,” replied Marvin. “But I imagine I’ll have a lot to do.”
He knew Mr. and Mrs. Redpost didn’t believe he was Prince Robert. He saw the way they had smiled at each other when he told them about it.
They probably thought it was just some kid-thing he was doing.
That was okay. Just so long as Mrs. Redpost was taking him to the Watergate Hotel. It didn’t matter what she thought.
“You won’t play baseball anymore,” said Jacob. “You’ll have to learn how to play polo.”
“I can play polo,” said Linzy.
“You can not,” said Jacob.
“I can too,” said Linzy. “Marco.”
“Polo,” said Marvin.
“Marco,” said Linzy.
“Polo,” said Marvin.
Marvin played “polo” with Linzy all the way to the hotel. It was a stupid game, but he didn’t mind.
He was going to miss playing stupid games with Linzy.
