"What's wrong?" George handed the briefcase to Mr. Smith and asked. Mrs. Walton nagged and told him about the children sneaking out to play. "I don't know where they went. Is this a joke? They said they were going to the library, but they actually went to play secretly. What if they go to the reservoir one day?"
