Lizzy's plan was to go to the man who wrote the letter to Jeremy's mother. However the security guard on duty catches them trying to break in to Harold's office to hopefully find the keys to the box. They decide against bribing him with a king-sized Snickers bar. Lizzy cleverly tried to slip out of the situation by telling the security guard Jeremy was her brother and that they had passes to go up there. The secuirty guard was not convinced considering the office they were searching was rented out to J &J Accountants. And they end up having to do community service to pay off the damages of the office with Mr. Oswald. The next day Jeremy and Lizzy are picked up in a limo by a man named James who drives them to Mr. Oswald. They are given a book and an address, and have to deliever it to a Mabel Billingsly. The kids later learn what the book meant to her. The book was Winnie-The-Pooh that she and her best friend Bitsy Solomon owned. She had sold it for a new dress and Bitsy confronted her. However, Mabel was too embarassed to tell the truth. And the fact that the book was signed by the author abled her to sell it.
Quote: To Bitsy and Mabel, Pooh's biggest American fans Best regards, A.A. Milne (p.122)
This is the signed message from A.A. Milne in Mrs. Billingsly's book that Jeremy and Lizzy returned to her.
