** There's not only the bit mentioned on the main page about Mrs. Jones's dog turning on her after the narrator and her brother give it a bone (it chases her up a street sign pole), there's the trip on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty where the narrator find her friend already waiting for her--which she then explains with the parenthetical aside "He took an early ferry." And then it snows in the middle of summer.
