"I'll tell you if you promise to be my best friend," he said.
"I would be honored, Woodrow!" I said, genuinely pleased.
He grinned all over, showing great white teeth and a tongue stained with the cherry candy. (1.67-69)
Woodrow and Gypsy may seem like completely different kids, at least on the outside, but they have an instant connection and become fast friends as soon as Woodrow moves in next door.
Quote #2
Later that evening, Woodrow and I went out to my tree house overlooking Slag Creek, which my daddy built for me when I was only five. It was a two-story job, the lower floor being the porch and the upper floor being the house. Woodrow was impressed. After inspecting it throughout, he suggested we make it our secret hideout. (6.66)
Gypsy must really trust Woodrow and consider him a serious friend since she allows him into her inner sanctum, a.k.a. the tree house her father built for her. Now they have their own little clubhouse of two.
Quote #3
Granny, Grandpa, and Mama got their heads together and came to a decision about mine and Woodrow's habit of running to every picture show that came to town. I thought the new law was dumb. It said children should spend as much time as possible in the fresh air and sunshine. (10.1)
Woodrow and Gypsy are in agreement about one thing: They'd rather be watching movies than playing outside. They're good enough friends that they can have fun wherever they are, though.
