Lester may think the man hiding on the beach might need to be told on but his aunt needs someone to tell on her as well. He's already told Heddy but I would say a postmisstress hiding mail is a Federal crime. No matter how much you trust a person, you can never be sure what they might tell someone else. I've learned that the hard way myself.

Thank you so much. At twelve, Lester knows his aunt is unethical and dishonest, but he's terrified of her. He's not going to say anything to her. Thank you for this thought provoking review. Gretchen
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well written.
I guess Benjamin Franklin's adage: three can keep a secret if two of them are dead is going to apply. Artie should never have told Heddy. Now there are three.
Best wishes.

Thank you for this wise review. No secret remains between two for long ... just look at Hollywood. Lol. Gretchen

So Heddy has told Lester about his mysterious friend, Who is, by necessity, hiding, so Lester wants to blab, but she makes sure Lester won't tell, so he promises for now. Beautifully written Gretchen, blessings Roy

Comment from Wendy G
Oh I do wish Heddy hadn't let slip about Artie. It could come out when Mrs C is mistreating Lester. Yet Lester had entrusted her with some secrets and kids usually have some sort of mutual disclosure system. Well written.

Edit: "He's hiding? You're friend is a coward? (Your)

Comment from lancellot
This is a solid chapter. It shows the complexity of different people, secrets, and friendships. There are levels to all and few things in life are simple.
notes:
I found a corner of the counter that she keeps {peoples} letters and mail.
- I found a corner of the counter that she keeps peoples' letters and mail.
