I don't want to go find my father. He left mama to fend for herself. I hate him I hate him I hate him. I know how much mama wanted me to meet him. No, wants me to meet him, she can still think in the spirit world. I hate men. My father, Jem, Bertie, Saul and all the other boys from the foundling hospital. They're all so cruel and spiteful. Gideon's the only boy whose kind and timid. Oh Gideon, my poor little basket brother.
