The Lemon Juice Scribblings
Kate Wetherall was sitting on Constance Contraire's bedroom floor in Mr. Benedict's large house, one year after The Mysterious Benedict Society's third adventure. She had finally found the journal that Mr. Benedict had gave them. She read Constance's poem about seasickness, Reynie's summery of the second adventure, Constance's second poem about when Sticky accidentally knocked her off the silo, and then flipped back to her page, which appeared blank. She said "My lemon juice things I said not to reveal for 10 years. I forgot what these say. I am going to go get a candle." She left Constance's room, and went down to the dining room.
She met the other three down there: Reynie Muldoon, George "Sticky" Washington, and Constance Contraire. "Hey." She said. "Look what I found. I need a candle to read my lemon juice." She held up the journal. The other three said "Mr. Benedict's journal! Where was it?"
Kate said "Under piles of laundry in your room, Constance. Have any of you seen a candle? I want to show you my lemon juice scribblings. I might not be able to show all three of you them .I think they have something I might only let Reynie see."
"In the Mysterious Benedict Society, when one member sees a secret, all four of us do. We all have to see it, Kate." said Constance.
"Constance is right." Sticky agreed. "We are a team."
"Fine." Kate said with a worried expression, which was not normal for Kate. "You can see them." As Kate opened the cupboard and took out a candle, Reynie opened the book to Kate's page of lemon juice scribblings, and took a deep breath, wondering what Kate could write that she thought only he should be able to see. Did Kate secretly have feelings for him this whole time without him noticing?
