4:46 pm	@@@@@Sometimes there were extra things for @@@@@Sometimes there were extra things for Jared, packaged foods with brand names I recognized–Red Vines, Snickers, Pop-TartsI tried to imagine how the humans had gotten their hands on these delicacies I didn't expect him to share–of course not–but I wondered sometimes if he thought I was hoping he wouldOne of my few entertainments was hearing him eat his treats, because he always did so ostentatiously, perhaps rubbing it in the way he had with the pillow that first night Once, Jared slowly ripped open a bag of Cheetos–showy about it as usual–and the rich smell of fake powdered cheese rolled through my cave… delicious, irresistibleHe ate one slowly, letting me hear each distinct crunch My stomach growled loudly, and I laughed at myselfI hadn't laughed in so long; I tried to remember the last time and couldn't–just that strange bout of macabre hysteria in the desert, which really didn't count aslaughterEven before I'd come here, there hadn't been much I'd found funny But this seemed hilarious to me for some reason–my stomach yearning after that one small Cheeto–and I laughed againA sign of madness, surely I didn't know how my reaction offended him, but he got up and disappearedAfter a long moment, I could hear him eating the Cheetos again, but from farther awayI peeked out of the hole to see that he was sitting in the shadows at the end of the corridor, his back to meI pulled my head inside, afraid he might turn and catch me watchingFrom then on, he stayed down at that end of the hall as much as possibleOnly at night did he stretch out in front of my prison Twice a day–or rather twice a night, as he never took me when the others were about–I got to walk to the room with the rivers; it was a highlight, despite the terror, as it was the only time I was not hunched into the unnatural shapes my small cave forced on meEach time I had to crawl back inside was harder than the last Three times that week, always during the sleeping hours, someone came to check on us The first time it was Kyle Jared's sudden lunge to his feet woke me“Get out of here,” he warned, holding the gun ready “Just checking,” Kyle saidHis voice was far away but loud and rough enough that I was sure it was not his brot (Comment on this)

His daughters absent and herself not consulted! There was comfort, however, soon at handShe must be the doer of everything: Lady Bertram would of course be spared all thought and exertion, and it would all fall upon herShe should have to do the honours of the evening; and this reflection quickly restored so much of her good-humour as enabled her to join in with the others, before their happiness and thanks were all expressed Edmund, William, and Fanny did, in their different ways, look and speak as much grateful pleasure in the promised ball as Sir Thomas could desireEdmund’s feelings were for the other twoHis father had never conferred a favour or shewn a kindness more to his satisfaction Lady Bertram was perfectly quiescent and contented, and had no objections to makeSir Thomas engaged for its giving her very little trouble; and she assured him “that she was not at all afraid of the trouble; indeed, she could not imagine there would be anyNorris was ready with her suggestions as to the rooms he would think fittest to be used, but found it all prearranged; and when she would have conjectured and hinted about the day, it appeared that the day was settled tooSir Thomas had been amusing himself with shaping a very complete outline of the business; and as soon as she would listen quietly, could read his list of the families to be invited, from whom he calculated, with all necessary allowance for the shortness of the notice, to collect young people enough to form twelve or fourteen couple: and could detail the considerations which had induced him to fix on the 22nd as the most eligible day William was required to be at Portsmouth on the 24th; the 22nd would therefore be the last day of his visit; but where the days were so few it would be unwise to fix on any earlierNorris was obliged to be satisfied with thinking just the same, and with having been on the point of proposing the 22nd herself, as by far the best day for the purpose The ball was now a settled thing, and before the evening a proclaimed thing to all whom it concerned (Comment on this)
