"Seriously, though, aren't you amazed about
relationship to Ned Chute?"
"I was when Pete first said it," Carly replied. "But then I remembered that the
drawings, especially the altered one, had made me realize how much he looked like
Ned. It would have been more amazing if they weren't related at all. Now I know the
