 How many times does Eddie go over to Teena’s house? What is the common thread, or reason, for Eddie going over there?
Eddie Taylor would like to have finished it, but the bar of morning sunlight poking in under the window shade pried his eyes open. “You may use the Geiger counter any time you want, Eddie,” Mr. Taylor said, “as long as you take good care of it. But, from what I hear, there are plenty of rock formations. Still, one clue is as good as another when it comes to hunting uranium ore, I guess. It could start cavities. In fact, anything having to do with atomic science excited him. You couldn’t have a father who was head of the atomic-science department at Oceanview College without picking up a little knowledge along the way. When carefully controlled, the radiation stored up in such isotopes was used in many beneficial ways. One reason for asking that particular question was to keep from prying deeper into the subject of the radioisotope. Much of his father’s work at Oceanview College was of a secret nature. His father usually volunteered any information he wanted known, so Eddie stuck to questions which could and would be answered. It took Eddie over an hour to sort out the newspapers and magazines in the garage, tie them in neat bundles, and place them out on the front curb for the Goodwill pickup. “Anything else, Mom?” he asked, returning to the house and getting the Geiger counter out of the closet. The best way to get there was by rowboat across Moon Bay, and that was too long a row to be starting now. Besides, there were plenty of other places around the outskirts of Oceanview where likely looking rock formations invited search with a Geiger counter. The taffy-colored cocker spaniel yipped wildly over his freedom, racing back and forth as Eddie started down the street. 19 Christina Ross—whom everybody called Teena—lived at the far end of the block. “Oh, hi, Eddie,” Teena greeted him, appearing at the screen door. 20 Eddie went inside and followed Teena to the kitchen. They had been ever since Eddie’s family had moved to Oceanview and his father had become head of the college’s atomic-science department. Teena’s father was chief engineer for the Acme Aviation Company, one of the coast town’s largest manufacturing concerns. 22 “Oh, yes, it’s fun, Mother,” Teena replied, wrapping wax paper around a sandwich. “Don’t go too far out from town,” Mrs. Ross cautioned, as Eddie picked up the Geiger counter.
 Twice. Both times concern something to do with Eddie’s interest in radioactivity.
 Three times. Each time concern Eddie’s infatuation with Teena, which is why he makes up excuses like going prospecting at Cedar point.  Twice.
