Sport louise fitzhugh5/31/2023 One of Sport’s school friends is a busboy at the Plaza Hotel, and eventually he finds Sport and smuggles him out in a room service cart. But in fact she kidnaps him and hides him in the Plaza Hotel, hiring private detectives to make sure he can’t leave his room, and arranging with the hotel not to allow outgoing calls, hoping she can force Sport’s father to give her custody. Taking advantage of this, Sport’s mother offers to look after Sport while his father and new stepmother take a honeymoon. Meanwhile, his father has found a woman he wants to marry. Sport has no intention of going to live with his mother, but goes to visit his dying grandfather in his mansion and agrees to visit his mother from time to time. Her father is dying, and she has discovered that, under the terms of her father’s will, she will inherit twice as much money if she has custody of her son. In Sport, we find that Sport’s mother is returning to the scene. Sport took care of the household, cooking and cleaning for them both. When we last saw Sport, in Harriet the Spy, he was living with his impoverished, impractical, writer father and his mother was nowhere to be seen. Sport tells the story of Harriet’s friend Simon Rocque (Sport to his friends).
