After finishing Hard Times, it was actually not that hard to transition to a completely different sort of book – Pearls of Lutra, the ninth book in the Redwall series. Pearls of Lutra is much cheerier and “fun” than Hard Times. It’s also one of the most exciting Redwall books I’ve ever read, perhaps the most exciting. I recall that I was also really excited about Mattimeo (another Redwall book) and The Mysterious Benedict Society (completely different from the Redwall series, by a different author). These three books may be the most exciting books I’ve ever read.

Still More on Hard Times
Now, I’m on Part 3 of Hard Times. Part 2 ended with Mr. James Harthouse saying how much he loves Louisa. They agree to meet again at some time, but Louisa just runs home to her father’s house and has a major breakdown. For some reason, Mrs. Sparsit was watching what went on between Louisa and Harthouse. She had succeeded in whatever it was she was trying to do – sabotage Louisa’s marriage or something like that, I’m not quite sure.
So anyway, Louisa is at her father’s house, recovering, when Mr. Bounderby brings this woman named Rachael (who loves Stephen Blackpool) to her. Mr. Bounderby had just put up posters accusing Stephen (Blackpool, not the Stephen who is almost done Dragonspell!) of robbing the bank all over town, but Rachael wants to vindicate him. So she told Mr. Bounderby her version of the story. However, Mr. Bounderby wants to validate the story, so he came to Louisa (who met Rachael earlier, in Part One). Louisa confirmed the story. Stephen is supposed to come back and prove his innocence (but he hasn’t showed up yet), and that’s where I’m at right now.
Well, I’m glad I read through Part 2, so that I know what’s going on. It’s getting interesting again – I want to know what happens next! I’m on Stephen’s side, believing him to be innocent. Nowhere in the story did it say that he robbed the bank. I don’t think the story left “room” for him to do so. And he’s an honest man, anyway. But, that leaves this question…
Who robbed the bank, anyway?
