The Baby-Sitters Club #11: Kristy and the Snobs

Image
Kristy is now officially living at Watson's house and still not sure how she fits in or if she fits in around his fancy neighborhood. David Michael comes to her all concerned because Louie is limping. By the time she tells her mom though, the limp is already gone. While waiting for her bus, she sees a girl in a private school outfit waiting for her own bus. They exchange some words, but Kristy makes things way worse when she tells the girl that she looks like a snob and sticks her tongue out at her. Louie keeps getting worse, which leads to Charlie taking her and David Michael with Louie to the vet. The vet says he's old, that his eyesight is bad, and that he has arthritis.

Elizabeth just spent the night with Laurent in his little cottage, but despite the fact that he's a rich and handsome prince who she kind of loves, she still didn't give it up. He takes her back to the castle and shows her how to sneak in through the underground tunnels. The prince also tells her a story about a royal person who fell in love with a servant girl.

The plan is for him to announce his engagement to Antonia, the daughter of the countess, on the big night. She thinks about telling her twin to save her from h
