The kids then described being forced across country by Mr. Blick, all the way to California, where they escaped, and had to make their way back. They made up a great story about Mr. Blick being a mad scientist and wanting kids to experiment on—as long as they didn’t mention the word “magic” it seemed like adults would believe anything. Frederic’s mother kept saying “But wasn’t there another boy? A Danish boy?” but nobody paid any attention to her.
So she took Frederic home. She was appalled to see him back all browned from the sun and in tough shape after all that traveling. She had to fatten up her starving boy... which meant she needed more money. She was in a good mood as she began dialing her lawyer.
Frederic put up with that, and with the questions, because he had friends now. Life might have gone back to being stupid again, but he had friends to laugh over it with.
Friends made all the difference.
