Whipping Boy - Ch. 11 - 15 - Summary

This week is about Cutwater and Hold-Your-Nose Billy trying to figure out who was going to deliver the ransom note. It is also about Jemmy and the Prince, and their ideas to escape successfully.

Cutwater and Hold-Your-Nose Billy decided that the Whipping Boy should deliver the ransom note. When Prince Brat, who Cutwater and Hold-Your-Nose Billy thought was the Whipping Boy, refused to deliver the note, Jemmy had to come up with another plan to escape. Jemmy was going to let the Prince escape by delivering the ransom note.

Jemmy's second plan was to hide in the hay and have the Prince tell Cutwater and Billy that he had run off, so that they both could escape.

When Cutwater asked the Prince where Jemmy was, the Prince told him that Jemmy was in the hay pile. Jemmy realized that if he was going to be able to escape, he would have to run for it. Jemmy and the Prince both ran for it and hid in the woods. After they successfully escaped, they met a Hot Potato Man. He is a man who sells hot, baked potatoes to people to eat. The boys ran to the Hot Potato Man's horse and buggy and asked him if he could give them a ride back to the castle.

The Hot Potato Man said, "yes," and they got a ride back to the castle. Chapter 15 ends with the trip to the castle.
