Miss Octavia flew into her garden with a radiant face . Everything was safe -- nothing was spoiled . But who could have done it ? Miss Octavia was puzzled . On one side of her lived Mrs. Kennedy , who had just moved in and , being a total stranger , would not be likely to think of Miss Octavia 's flowers . On the other lived Miss Matheson , who was a `` shut-in '' and spent all her time on the sofa . But to Miss Matheson Miss Octavia went . `` Rachel , do you know who covered my plants up last night ? '' Miss Matheson nodded . `` Yes , it was Tommy Puffer . I saw him working away there with papers and twine . I thought you 'd told him to do it . '' `` For the land 's sake ! '' ejaculated Miss Octavia . `` Tommy Puffer ! Well , wonders will never cease . '' Miss Octavia went back to her house feeling rather ashamed of herself when she remembered how she had always treated Tommy Puffer . `` But there must be some good in the child , or he would n't have done this , '' she said to herself . `` I 've been real mean , but I 'll make it up to him . '' Miss Octavia did not see Tommy that day , but when he passed the next morning she ran to the door and called him .
`` Tommy , Tommy Puffer , come XXXXX here ! ''
