Phoebe's imagination is on the loose! She gets a little too creative on ideas for what could have happened to her mother. Even her sister and dad, who are also very curious about what happened to Mrs. Winterbottom, do not come up with ideas as far-fetched as that. If I were Phoebe, I might go a little crazy, but not as wacko as that! I might think something bad happened to my mom, maybe that she had to go away because of some personal business, but not because she got kidnapped. Prudence is kind of in a frenzy after Mrs. Winterbottom leaves while Mr. Winterbottom is a little hesistant and stressed out. Phoebe's father is right though, compared to everyone else and the facts, her imagination is running away from her. I completely agree with Mr. Winterbottom since if her mom was "kidnapped" she wouldn't have time to pack all those meals ahead of time and label them all. Mrs. Winterbottom wouldn't have had time to write a note for each person too. In general, I think Phoebe needs to take time to calm down and think everything over.
Sal, under the influence of Phoebe, was led to believe that Mrs. Cadaver murdered her husband and buried him in her backyard. One night, while Sal was having a sleepover at Phoebe's house, they saw Mr. Birkway and Mrs. Cadaver moving a rhododendron bush. Phoebe thought that Mrs. Cadaver was trying to cover up the area which she buried her husband and convinced Sal that that was true too. Phoebe convinced Sal that Mrs. Cadaver was a murderer. However, after visiting Mrs. Cadaver with her father, she also was mad at her for "taking her mother's place" in her dad's heart. After her mother left, only Mrs. Cadaver was able to put a smile on Sal's father's face. After hearing what really happened to Mr. Cadaver, Sal felt sorry for Mrs. Cadaver that such a terrible thing could have happened. This occurence completely changed not only Sal's viewpoint, but also Phoebe's viewpoint about Mrs. Cadaver.
