Walter Gallagher
No. 18 in the Cobblestone Circle Series
Walter is so confused!
He can feel his blood pressure rising as he watches Henry Chickering, the new bag boy he hired last week. The lad seemed like a capable sort, but he just now dropped a can of pineapple slices right on top of Mrs. Stevens bread!
Really! How hard can it be to bag groceries? Teenagers!
He quickly grabs a new loaf of bread for Irene Stevens and heads for the checkout counter. He instructs Henry to step aside ~ and with a smile, gives him a look that unmistakably says Watch and Learn. He feels the tension easing out of him as his attention is turned to listening to all the news from Irene. Walter is well suited to being a shopkeeper ~ he truly enjoys his customers.
But what Walter does not know is that the reason Henry dropped the pineapple was because he was distracted by Eliza Peabody coming into the store with her mother to do their shopping. You see, Henry has secretly got a deep crush on Eliza.
A bag boy with a bad case of puppy love . . . . Walter better take his blood pressure medication.
