“The Hook”
“Lunch is over!’ he shouted. ‘Back to work, everyone! Everyone except you, Baudelamps! The boss wants to see you three in his office right away!’The three siblings put down their debarkers and looked at one another. They had been working so hard that they had almost forgotten about meeting their guardian, whatever his name was. What sort of man would force small children to work in a lumbermill? What sort of man would hire a monster like Foreman Flacutuno? What sort of man would pay his employees in coupons, or feed them only gum? (Pages 42&43)
"For above the pale lipstick on Shirley’s face, and below the blond wig on Shirley’s head, was a pair of shiny, shiny, eyes." (Page 114)
