Mix 1/4 cup olive oil with two cups mashed blackberries, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 cup chopped sorrel. Whisk until reasonably smooth, adding additional oil as required. Apply twice daily until symptoms subside. Note: it is recommended that the patient NOT turn into an alligator again until skin has returned to normal. If symptoms worsen, call your local Copycat apothecary (see directory at the back of this book).

The Following Summer

No one knew who had donated the picnic tables to Tin Can Beach or paid to have it cleaned up, but everyone who lived in Saint John agreed it was a good thing. It was an early afternoon in July, and the cool breeze riding the incoming tide was a welcome relief to the picnickers—two girls and a boy—who’d claimed the table closest to the water. They unpacked a lunch of fettucine alfredo and pink cupcakes. For some inexplicable reason, they thought it was a good idea to bring a cat to a public beach. The cat was curled up on the bench next to the tall freckled girl, but woke up when they called to it, insisting on a bite of cupcake. Now and then the group was joined by a fuzzy gray squirrel, which not only didn’t mind the cat, but seemed to engage it in a strange, chittering conversation. Uproarious laughter filled the air. Later, you’d swear your mind was playing tricks on you, for five kids left the beach, not three, and the animals had disappeared.
