CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 6 Later in Dink's room, Ruth Rose laid the Green Lawn newspaper across Dink's desk. There was a large photograph of Penelope Gwinn and a drawing of her penguin necklace. Under the pictures, the caption read: "Penelope's penguin pendant purloined!" "What's 'purloined'?" Josh asked. He was flopped on Dink's bed with Dink's guinea pig, Loretta, on his chest. "I don't know," Dink said, reaching for his dictionary. He flipped to the P section and ran his finger down the page.

"What's 'purloined'?" Josh asked.He was flopped on Dink's bed with Dink's guinea pig, Loretta, on his chest.
"I don't know," Dink said, reaching for his dictionary.He flipped to the P section and ran his finger down the page.
"Purloin means 'to steal,'" he said after a minute.
"Duh," Josh said. "I could have figured that out!"
"Then why didn't you?" Dink asked, grinning at Josh.
"Listen to what Penelope told the reporter," Ruth Rose said,reading the paragraph under the pictures.
I always sign autographs during my intermission.I was signing and thanking my fans when suddenly someone grabbed my necklace.It all happened so fast. Before I could react, the thief was running away.
"We were almost witnesses!" Josh said.
"Except that the necklace didn't get stolen until we were on the carousel," Dink reminded him.
Josh aimed a crooked smile at Dink.
