HARLEY REDEEMED 

__**SHORT SET SUMMARY:**__
Carl is at the breakfast table. He is listening to Joy's plans about Harley. Carl is still groggy with sleep so he didn't argue. Maddie emerged in search of her own breakfast, she stared at Carl, and he stared back. When Carl was fully awake, he decided to go down to the barge, Skip greeted him. Just after twelve Skip sent down a lunch box for Carl, and Carl invited Skip to share it. They talked about Harley's accident, Carl's Idea* and the fact that Joy likes Harley. Then Skip left. That Friday Joy and Skip approached Carl. They explained to him that he needs to be looked after, and that they were willing to do it. They were going to give him a home. They also said that they haven't told Harley yet, so they could discuss it with Carl. Carl told them that he would need to talk to Aunt Beryl first, and that she's a bit touchy at the moment so they should leave him to ask her.
 * Carl's Idea was turning the dinghy around so that there back's were to the sun and it would light up whatever is in the Mangrove Islands.

**__LONG SET SUMMARY (w/h,most not all,QUOTESandADJECTIVES):__** - Harley was warmed and fed and eventually put to bed - "Harley can stay here with us until he's better," joy informed him at the breakfast table the next morning."And you too." - He settled on a sunny spot out of the wind, wedged his back against the side of the barge, and invited Carl to share the sandwiches. - "He'll be all right with your aunt, will he?" Skip asked. - When all the cars were gone she called to Carl, "Come on up.We want to talk to you" - "He needs to be looked after." Skip said bluntly, taking over from his reluctant wife. - "We have a proposal.That Harley comes to live with us in Wiseman's Cove, until your mother comes back." - Carl's first thought was of Skip's stiffened leg - Carl held back more through instinct than doubt. "I'll have to speak to Beryl first." - "But from what she's been saying to people around Wattle Beach, she'll be glad to have him off her hands. - "No.She's a bit touchy at the moment.I'd better sort it out with her myself and let you know." - Carl.
