Discussion Questions

  1. Baby Lincoln has snuck into the back seat of Mr. Watson's car. The QUIET sister is doing the most adventurous thing in the chapter. What does this tell us about Baby?
  2. Baby is using her sister's word ('folly') but using it differently — Eugenia uses 'folly' to mean 'foolish things,' and Baby uses it to mean 'fun.' Why does Baby borrow Eugenia's word and change what it means?
