title: The Trouble With Henriette
author:  Wende Devlin 
description: "The trouble with Henriette," according to Jolie's grandfather, "is that she can't find a truffle." For a French truffle hound, that spells failure?and also spells this particular pooch's imminent replacement with a more efficient model. But the canny canine surprises everyone by locating truffles once more, albeit in a comically inappropriate setting. The Devlins, creators of the Cranberryport series, enliven their pet-in-jeopardy tale with an engaging dose of Gallic charm in both text and pictures. Harry Devlin composes buildings, interiors and characters with architectural precision; his ink-and-watercolor illustrations abound with minute, often amusing details. His frequently muted colorations plus the characters' stock cartoony faces give this book an old-fashioned appearance, while Henriette's redemption adds a measure of warmth. If youngsters need to be educated about gourmandise to grasp Henriette's plight, that's but a truffle, er, trifle. Ages 4-7. <br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  ## “Do you want a new Handler?”  
  Laurel held her breath, waiting for Devlin’s answer, praying he wouldn’t say
  yes.
  
  Even though they had crossed the line, she didn’t want to lose him as one of
  her Paladins. Even if she could convince one of the other Handlers to keep her
  apprised of Devlin’s progress, it wouldn’t be the same.
  
  “No, I don’t, but this can’t happen again.”
  
  That much was true. She nodded, unable to speak, her eyes stinging from the
  threat of tears.
  
  “Not here, anyway.” He leaned close enough so that his warm breath tickled her
  skin. “On the other hand, my dear Dr. Young, I can promise you this: When you
  and I do go to bed together, it’ll be someplace a hell of a lot more private
  than this. Because nothing is going to stop us from finishing what we started
  today.”
  
  And then he was gone.
