and tuna together in a large bowl.
     
    (I use a fork to do this because it’s easier to flake the tuna with a fork.)
     
    Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, green peppers, olives, and onion. Mix well.
     
    Add the pickle relish and mix it in.
     
    Spread the mayonnaise out on top with a rubber spatula and then use the spatula to mix it in.
     
    Open the hot dog buns, spread the filling on the bottom halves, and close the buns again.
     
    Wrap each bun in a piece of aluminum foil.
     
    Place the foil-wrapped Coney Island Sandwiches, cut side up, in a baking pan.
     
    Bake the sandwiches at 250 degrees F. for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and they’re warm all the way through.
     
    Serve these sandwiches warm. Kids love them, especially because they come in their own foil-wrapped packages. Coney Island Sandwiches are also very good to take on picnics if you keep them warm in an insulated bag for the trip to the park or the beach.
     
    Yield: 6 Coney Island Sandwiches.
     

Chapter Four
     
    “O h, Hannah! I’m so afraid I did a terrible thing!” Delores, who was sitting next to Hannah in the limo that Doc had ordered for them, reached out to touch her daughter’s arm.
    “You’re having second thoughts about marrying Doc?”
    “Oh, no! Nothing like that! It’s just that I was secretive about something that I probably shouldn’t have . . .”
    “Mother!” Andrea reached out to grab her arm. “That’s enough, Mother. We all agreed that what you did was right. And I’m sure that Hannah will agree.”
    “I might if I knew what it was.”
    “I’m afraid we kept something . . .”
    “Not another word, Mother!” Michelle stepped in to silence Delores. “You did the right thing. Now let it go on and take its course.”
    “What course?” Hannah was feeling like the group of blind men who were trying to figure out what an elephant looked like by grabbing various parts of it. “What are you three talking about?”
    “It’s nothing, Hannah. Just go with the flow,” Andrea ordered.
    “Yes,” Michelle said. “We’re almost at the Little Chapel of the Orchids and then you’ll know.”
    Know what? Hannah’s mind asked, but she bit back the question before she could ask it. They probably wouldn’t tell her anyway. But her curiosity was killing her as she got out of the limo and followed her mother and sisters into the wedding chapel.
    “You must be Delores,” the woman at the counter said as she caught sight of the beige raw silk suit that Delores was wearing. “You look lovely, even prettier than your groom said you were. He’s a very nice man, so polite. And his best man?” She stopped speaking and gave a huge sigh. “If I were twenty years younger, I’d be pulling him into a taxi to take him to my place.”
    “In that case, I’m glad you’re not twenty years younger.” Delores gave a little laugh. “We need him to make this wedding legal. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, you know.”
    “Your groom told me. He said he fell in love the moment he laid eyes on you. But you were already married.” The woman reached under the counter and pulled out a box. “I have your bridesmaid corsages.” She opened the largest white box. “And here’s your wedding bouquet. Isn’t it pretty?”
    Andrea gave a little gasp as the woman pulled out an orchid bouquet. “It’s lovely, Mother!”
    “Yes, it is,” Michelle said with a nod.
    Hannah smiled. “It’s perfect with your suit. I didn’t know orchids came in all those different colors.”
    “It’s a Rainbow Orchid bouquet,” the woman told them. “Very expensive. I’ve only seen one before, and that was when one of our former mayors retired and married his much younger girlfriend. He was trying to impress her, but it didn’t work out the way he thought it would. She said, What are those funny-looking flowers, sweetie? And when he told her they were orchids, she said, Well I hope they smell good ’cause that’s the only
