Chapter 14

It is too dark for the Tuck's to try and find the horse thief, so they decide to wait until the next day. They talk about what has happened, and Angus Tuck feels very concerned. Winnie cannot get off to sleep and longs to be back in her own bed. She feels a little better when she thinks that the man in the yellow suit will have told her parents what he had seen on the road. But the Tuck's are so kind to her that she begins to feel more comfortable again. Then Jesse comes to her bedside and says that she could wait 6 or 7 years until she is the same as him, then go and drink the water. They would then be the same age together forever and could get married. She adores him and when he has gone she thinks about what he has said. But she just feels confused.

Things get a little ugly- Granny character either shoots or hits ( using the weapon as a club_ Man in Yellow Suit) ( is he an FBI agent) over the head and he dies- cop killers are guilty of a capital crime! it is not stated he is a cop but the idea is he may well be a detective or FBI man- FBI was founded in l908. Granny is slated to hang- but- thunderstorm erupts at the jailhouse- well I wont spoil it.

Why didn't the tucks want Winnie to drink?

The Tucks didn't want Winnie to drink from the spring because they don't want Winnie to have the same eternal life. In fact the Tucks wish that they had found a spring that would make them mortal because they regret each and every moment of their life from now on. The Tucks don't want Winnie to have such a eternal life like theirs because they know what they have been through. The Tucks also don't want Winnie to stay as a little girl forever, therefore the Tucks don't want Winnie to drink from the spring.
