By Barbara Pease Weber

Later that night, Gladys, and her besties, quickly realize that there are some rather peculiar things about Lizzie's professor, not the least of which are Doc Franklin's untamed table manners and distressing, vocal powder room proclamations. An evening of mayhem and misadventure ensues with a missing Doc Franklin and Lizzie beside herself with worry! Some days are just a ... Just when you think things are going so well!
