Winn Dixie: The rain ruined the party but while trying to save the party what did it do to the guests?

The guests gathered together amd made the best of it.... they had a great time.

What we saw was Otis playing his guitar, and Miss Franny and Gloria sitting there smiling and singing, and Gloria holding Sweetie Pie in her lap. Amanda and Dunlap and Stevie were sitting on the kitchen floor, clapping along and having the best possible time. Even Amanda was smiling. I couldn’t believe they were so happy when Winn-Dixie was missing.

Gloria Dump convinced the Dewberry boys that she wasn't a witch.

“Well,” said Gloria Dump, “we was all just sitting around waiting on you two. And after I convinced these Dewberry boys that I ain’t no scary witch all full of spells and potions —”

Frnny suggested they have some music....

“What happened was we got through all them witchy things and then Franny said, why don’t we have a little music while we wait for you two to get back."

And Otis discovered Winn Dixie.

So I sent Otis in there. I said, ‘Otis, go on in there and see who is sneezing.’ So Otis went. And do you know what he found?”
I shook my head.
“Winn-Dixie!” shouted Sweetie Pie.
