Stevie moaned later that night. The three girls were lying on the two large, comfortable beds in the second bedroom of Judy’s spacious hotel suite. Judy had already said good night and gone to bed, but The Saddle Club was too excited by the day’s events to go to sleep yet. They had decided to hold a Saddle Club meeting instead. Lisa was reloading her camera and getting her equipment ready for the next day while the girls talked. “I know what you mean,” Carole said. “I knew eating that last crab was a mistake, but it tasted so good, I couldn’t resist.” Judy and Max had taken them to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, a modern complex of shops and restaurants by the water. The girls had been disappointed that they’d arrived too late to visit the famous aquarium there, but they had found plenty of other things to do, from shopping to people-watching to posing for dozens of Lisa’s pictures. They had bought souvenirs for their families and stuffed themselves with fresh seafood until they could hardly move.
