  Just last Sunday, after church, Mrs. Conway, the butcher's wife, had asked him: "What is a three-letter word for a Swiss river beginning with A?"
  The town had four banks, three movie theaters, and a Little League. It had the usual number of gasoline stations, churches, schools, stores, and comfortable houses on shady streets. It even had a mansion or two, and some dingy sections. And it had the average number of crimes for a community of its size.
  For nearly a whole year no criminal had escaped arrest and no boy or girl had got away with breaking a single law in Idaville.
  This was partly because the town's policemen were clever and brave. But mostly it was because Chief Brown was Encyclopedia's father.
  His hardest cases were solved by Encyclopedia during dinner in the Browns' red brick house on Rover Avenue.

conversations.value: Chief Brown reminded Encyclopedia to sit quietly in the car. Then he got out and walked toward John Abbot.
  John Abbot started to lower the barefoot baby onto the sharp stones of the gravel driveway. Then he changed his mind and put the child on the front fender of the yellow car, and raised his hands.
  The child had climbed onto the hood of the yellow car. He smiled and gurgled happily. Suddenly he stood up and walked close to the edge of the hood. Chief Brown caught him just as he started to fall off the car.
  Chief Brown looked at his watch. "You drove six hundred miles in less than twelve hours," he said. "Did you stop around six o'clock and talk to anyone? Somebody we can check your story with?"
  Chief Brown nodded. "She received an unsigned letter last week. It told her to put ten thousand dollars in cash behind the statue of George Washington in the park. If she refused to do this, her necklace would be stolen."

  As Mr. Patch said, none of the Lions touched the knife. So the blade was buried in the watermelon all the time the Lions were looking at it.
  But Corky said his knife had a blade that was "a half inch longer" than the one in the watermelon. That was his mistake.
  Billy Haggerty said that he had never heard of Dr. Vivian Wilson and that he didn't know where his office was. But he knew too much about him.
  Eddie had to use another (uncooked!) egg against Charlie, and he lost the match. Charlie agreed to give back Eddie's football uniform if he would return the prizes he had won at the earlier matches.
