Hey, look who I found!  The mustard lady!  She was standing around watching the party.
 
Bonnie: Welcome to Essencia Island!
Mustard Lady: Thanks. You do know, I hope, that "mustard lady" is not my name?
B: Well, sure, of course. I know that. What's your REAL name, then?
ML: I'd rather remain in the background. Why don't you call me ML, for short.
B: ML?
ML: " Mustard Lady"?
B:  Oh!  Duh!  I shoulda guessed.
ML:  I really do care about the children I place, you know.
B:  I know that.
ML:  So I dropped by, hoping to see how Hollis is doing now with her new family.
B:  She's here somewhere.  I saw her racing Steven to the pool earlier.
ML:  Is Shelley here?  I wanted to tell her I really loved the title she gave to chapter one of the book:  "Mustard Lady Delivers Hollis to Art Teacher Wielding Knife"
B:  Yes, I laughed out loud at that title.  Very good!
ML:  Oh, there she is.  Hollis!  (Excuse me, Bonnie, but I really want to chat with Hollis.)
 
Bonnie:  Okay, I'll go talk with Margreet, now that I can look her in the eye in that photo in the previous post.
