Er, me again, because I don't think before hitting Post
I thought Jamie walking home alone was weird, too! I mean, I'm sure Bradford Court is a low-traffic street, especially during the day, and it's possible that the Newtons are catty-corner to the Perkinses. (I don't know how accurate my mental picture is, but I imagine that the Perkins are across from the Kishis, and that the Newtons are next-door but one to the Kishis - I don't know if the Goldmans are in between or if they're on the other side.) It's possible, especially if Mrs. Newton was outside, but it's very weird that Mary Anne just lets him leave.
