Dill may not want the "neat-freak ghost" to mess with his underwear, but from what we've read of it, his underwear could probably use the "ghost's" attentions even more than the rest of him.

WV: suptivo a musical term, derived from Italian, meaning that the measure in question should be played in a jerky and erratic fashion.

I wonder how Peter is going to claim that he did it while he is at school. Or maybe the things might follow him to school and then do everything there.

At first it wouldn't be so bad, the school could probably use a lot of work anyway.

Theory! Grandfather not only knows about the Helpers, he's been making use of them for years! (Come on, can you honestly imagine him cooking, complete with a "Kiss the chef" apron?) This is how he's managed all by himself in a huge house with no servants.

So why are they only appearing to Peter now? Well, perhaps there's a legacy that's being passed down to him now that Grandfather is on the way out, perhaps there's a binding ritual that specifies Grandfather as the sole master and he's been too busy to renew that...a hundred options!

Two options. Either grandfather knows about them in theory but has never seen their handiwork, or they come with a consequence so deep and dire that their positive effect isn't worth it.

But then he wouldn't have an "anti-changeling" secret weapon anymore!

daymon34 -
Well, he arrives home before Mom gets home, so maybe that's his reason...

Mina -
Just wait till you hear about the next meal...

Rubberduck -
I likes me the theories!

Hmmmmm...part of your theory is correct...

"A consequence so deep and dire..."

I LIKE that. Along with "There is ALWAYS a price," I think I might have to steal your sentence, Anon...
