Quotes by John Reynolds Gardiner (?)

“Is she dead, Mr. Stone Fox? Is she dead?” little Willy asked, looking up at Stone Fox with his one good eye.”

“Can you believe it? I had a project that was sure to win the silver trophy, not to mention that Miss Green would probably get voted best science teacher, and what happens? She won’t even listen to me.

I also had another problem. Miss Green had told me not to come back until I had washed off the green paint. Except it wasn’t green paint, and I didn’t know how to change myself back.”
― John Reynolds Gardiner, Top Secret
