Chapter 8 Summary

"I Lose a Toe": On her way to the cinnamon house with Uncle Jack, Primrose learns that he has been trying very hard to get Miss Bowzer to sell her restaurant, but that she has continually and firmly refused. At the cinnamon house, just as its owner is about to leave and the prospective buyers are arriving, Primrose falls and scrapes her knee quite badly. There is no time to put a bandage on it, so she merely presses Jack's handkerchief to it and waits while he shows the house. He is gone a long time, so Primrose amuses herself in the street, where she is hit by a truck. She wakes up in a hospital, where she is eventually told that the truck took off her little toe and that she has to stay in hospital for a couple of days before...
