His applicant was a man by the name of Mr. John Canrow. John Canrow was going to medical school in a city south of Maplerose, and had decided to take the year off. After the interview Mr. Grenhow hired John and was going to have him start on Monday.
Mr. Grenhow didn’t know it, but John Canrow wasn’t actually a medical student. His name was Hoodin Calhuski (Cal-Hoo-Ski), and he was the owner of the lone tent that was still in the park. He had been there when Alice and her mother, Penelope, looked in his tent and searched for the owner of it. He was down at the creek collecting some water, and hid when he heard them.

If he were to carry out his plan, he would have to find a way to explain that Alice’s glasses had a problem with them, and that she would need a new pair. Then he would resign from his “job”, giving Mr. Grenhow a believable excuse, and if he got in his way he would have to deal with him quickly, so he could depart from Maplerose with the glasses as fast as possible. The thing he longed to understand, was if Mr. Grenhow knew that Alice had the Magnifiglasses, or even knew what they were. If he didn’t know what they were it would be even easier to take them, but if he did know what the glasses were and the powers they had, it would be a little tricky. Either way he would do it, he was so close and giving up wasn’t going to
