Chapter 20: Carys's Rules

"The deed in there is a copy," Conrad said, watching the lawyer's car go down the drive. "The original deed is in the bank vault.

"He just walked out of my house with a stolen file, and he did it in front of six witnesses."

"Six and a half," said the cook. "I counted the child."

That afternoon I sat at the kitchen table with a pen, a sheet of the good paper, and no idea how to begin.

Torn rule pieces still lay in a heap on the hall floor, because nobody had wanted to sweep them up.

I wrote the first line.

I crossed it out.

I wrote it again.

Jasper read over my shoulder.

"You're making a new list," he said. "You are a menace."

"The old one is in pieces. Someone has to rule this house."

"Then I'd like to propose rule one."

"Go ahead."

"Jasper gets the last pancake."

"Denied."

When I finished, I pinned it to the cork board in the front hall with a thumbtack.

It said:

One. We eat dinner together at the table, every night, and everyone is invited.
