Part 3 of Day 5: The Book

We take the book and go onto the limo, while Mr. Oswald goes to his meeting. James took us to the place where the owner of the book lives. When I got off the car James told me to leave my bag in the limo, I hesitated, then I put it in the limo. Then me and Lizzy went and met a elderly woman, Mabel Billingsly. She did not know why we came. So, then I gave her the envelope and she opened it. Instead was a book and a letter. When she saw this, she cried and asked where we got this. Lizzy tells her Mr. Oswald gave it to us to give you her. Then she asked, "Old Ozzy? He must be like a 150 by now!" We told her no, he is in like his 70's. Then we ask her if she is ok and she says yes and starts reading the book, which was Winnie The Pooh. Then she stops and tells us that this book was once half of hers. The other half belonged to her best friend, Bitsy Solomon, but they haven't spoke to each other for over 65 years. Because she sold the book that has A. A. Milne's autograph, for a dress. Then when Lizzy asked another question she gave her the letter and said it's all in the envelope. Then she tells us that her husband had died and she met him in the dress she bought with the book.
