Duncan sank as flat against the floor as he could get. He knew he was in trouble, but Carl was sure he didn’t understand why.
“Come on, fella. Outside with you.”
Duncan didn’t move.
Carl took hold of his collar and had to pull him out from under the table. His muddy feet left a long smear until Duncan realized he wasn’t welcome. Then he bolted for the door and shot outside as Joe came, in nearly tripping the old gent.
“What’s the matter with him?”
“His feet are muddy,” Carl said. He left the kitchen and went out to the back porch. He returned with a mop and bucket. He started to wipe up the mess.
Already seated at the table, Joe said, “Leave the woman’s work to the woman.”
“It was my dog that made the mess.” Carl met Lizzie’s eyes. They were wide with surprise. Suddenly, she smiled at him. It was worth a week of mopping floors to behold. He leaned on the mop handle and smiled back.
