Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. The Alden family find the treasure and return it to the owner. She is often responsible for cooking. The executive producer was Maureen Sargent Gorman.

The writing makes such a point of it, that when Violet makes a move to check on Benny before the train departs, and Henry stops her, I know, with the certainty that only an extremely heavily Gertrude-style foreshadowing can give you—that there is no way that Benny is actually on the train.

After harassing the poor horse with a litany of mind-numbingly simple equations, Benny realizes he should probably return to the train. Since he had such a difficult time following the path the first time, his logical solution is to just fling himself headlong into the woods in the general direction of the train station. Unsurprisingly, he becomes lost immediately, and ends up in front of a little house with a woman and boy outside. I would be slightly perturbed to find a cottage in the middle of a thick wood with no path or road going in or out—in fact it sounds like the beginning of a gruesome fairy tale, but Benny has the confidence that can only be gained by great wealth and stupidity.

The boy introduced as Charley as they are running through the woods to the train is some kind of wilderness guru that rescues Benny after he becomes tangled in vines, and stops him from wallowing in poison ivy. They predictably have missed the train, so they just sit at the station eating apples from a tree. Instead, they take a cab back to get him, and meet back up with the train at another station. Then he spots a tree that has fallen across the tracks.

There is brief excitement about two sentences of heart-pounding action while they clear the tracks. Maybe Violet is feeling extra delicate at the moment. Anyway, Jessie is rearranging the mattress stuffing to make sure it will be perfect, and what does she find but the diamond necklace. Instead of immediately giving poor Cho-Cho a call and letting him know that his horrible life is about to get slightly better, Grandfather decides it would probably be best to take it to a jewelry store themselves.

The ride back on the train seems to take about 2 hours. They create a radio message for the Thin Man, telling him to meet them in Pinedale. Grandfather also has already gotten the talking horse on the train for the glorious reunion with Cho-Cho. Cho-Cho gets his necklace back, his magic pony, and they all have a party in the caboose where Jessie serves coca-cola mixed with orange juice as a special treat.

And guess who shows up? And guess his secret identity! And everyone is happy and Gertrude squeezes in some other scenes in a hodgepodge of sentences and poor editing and then the book ends with a weird sentient thought from the train.

In this book the youngest child Benny wants to go off in his own direction and see a horse while his family goes to see a glassblowing demonstration and he is given permission by grandfather because he is old enough to do so.

As she wrote the story, Warner read it to her classes and rewrote it many times so the words were easy to understand.
