In Carl Streater's search to destroy every copy of the deathly song, he and Helen Hoover Boyle go to a young woman's house who checked out the book at the public library. They told the woman that they were offering free makeovers. Inside the house was an empty crib and a stack full of books.
Poems and Rhymes Around the World was on the top of the shelf. They suspected that the woman must have read the poem on page 12 to her baby, and the next morning found it dead. Carl Streater tore the page up, crumpled it up, and put it in his pocket. Helen packed up her makeup kit and told the woman they were finished, now that she looked like a clown.
