[One of the muffins goes missing shortly after its entrance to the house, by pair of small hands into a not-large belly. Manning doesn't say anything because they are delicious, and he saves one for desert. The loaf is slowly whittled down and often accompanies dinner for the week. As for the cookies, TJ takes a half of one for desert one night, and the rest of it the next night. The one with a slightly torn edge disappears the same night Iris brings it home and after TJ has gone to bed. Turns out that eating it off Iris is the best way to eat it after all.]
