Charlie Chan's Date Part 3
"You were in a hypnotic state, Alan." Tom said.
"Like I keep saying," Anne said. "I wonder what it would be like if we had a brother who spoke English."
"Tom just said that I was in a trance," Alan answered his twin sister. "though, how did I end up in the trance?"
Suzie & Anne just wrapped their arms around their kindhearted brother, "We don't know exactly." she told Alan.
"But we will figure it out." Henry said.
"Are you sure we'll be able to solve this case?" Alan asked Henry.
The ten Chan children's stomachs started growling.
"Of course we will," Henry laughed. "right after breakfast!"
Nine out of the ten Chan children sat down at the dining room table as Anne went into the kitchen with the ten plates & glasses on a wheely cart.
Anne then came back with the plates full of pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, three different kinds of jelly, sausage, biscuits & gravy, hashbrowns, and butter as well as ten glasses full of milk.
Anne then placed a plate of food and a glass of milk at each spot at the dining room table.
"Let's eat." Anne said.
After breakfast, the doorbell rang again and Alan immediately fell back against the back of his chair.
