Chapter 7

Still confused about the ghost he saw, when Joe visits his grandfather, Mooshum, he asks the old man about the visage. Mooshum suggests that the ghost is trying to warn Joe about something, and that Joe needs to go and find his luck. When Clemence returns home, Joe sets off, returning to the scene of the crime. At the round house, he intends to find his luck from a heron. Standing near the lake, Joe spies a doll in the water and, though briefly thinking of getting Cappy, he jumps in and retrieves the doll. When he removes the doll’s head, Joe finds money inside. Joe takes the doll to Sonja, who irons the money and counts it out. They find forty thousand dollars inside the doll. Sonja and Joe open bank accounts at several banks, bury the bank books, and agree not to tell anyone about their findings. Sonja implores Joe to make good use of the money. Instead of wasting it, she wants him to use it for something meaningful, such as a college education.

Joe returns home after his outing at the round house and his adventure with Sonja. At home, he is approached by an FBI agent and Bazil.
