10 Working Like a Dog

CHAPTER TEN WORKING LIKE A DOG Late that night Franny sat at her desk staring at the Cupid card. She still had a lot of work to do if she was going to get cards for everyone done on time, but her heart just wasn't in it. "I'm tired," she said, and tossed the card aside. "I'll finish the rest tomorrow." Igor watched quietly, but he really, really, really, really, really, really wanted to help.

After Franny went to bed, Igor tried to sleep. But he was still upset about not being allowed to help. He walked around the room looking at Franny's marvelous experiments in progress and reminded himself not to touch them.
