"I'll take it," said Louis.
"Are you Mrs. Jewls?" asked the man.
"No," said Louis.
"I have to give it to Mrs. Jewls," said the man.
Louis thought a moment. He didn't want the man disturbing the children. He knew how much they hated to be interrupted when they were working.
"I'm Mrs. Jewls," he said.
"But you just said you weren't Mrs. Jewls," said the man.
"I changed my mind," said Louis.
The man got the package out of the back of the truck and gave it to Louis. "Here you go, Mrs. Jewls," he said.
"I'll take it," said Louis.
"Are you Mrs. Jewls?" asked the man.
"No," said Louis.
