Annie Inch: Annie is Lulu's best friend and occasional co-conspirator in her schemes to best the boys.Sometimes, Martha would spank Lulu for crimes she did not do, and thanks to Tubby's later investigation, would end up finding out that George had done something (like borrowing, misplacing, or breaking an object) that Lulu had wrongly been punished for.
