"I just took a shower, right?"
"Right."
"I always powder my feet after a shower, right?"
"Howinhell should I know?"
Eddie sat back on the bed and stuck his feet out. "Look."
There was white powder all over the bottoms of his feet, a lot more of it in between his toes.
"Okay," George said. "I see it. What does that prove?"
"You go ahead and find the powder on the rug. If I walked from here to the dresser and back there'd be powder all over the rug where I walked. Find it."
George looked but the rug was solid blue without any white marks on it. "So you crawled on your hands and knees, so you walked on your hands. Just don't tell me the scissors did that themselves. They couldn't."
