October 18, 1899 (Later That Evening)



Hmmm.. It's nearly midnight and I can't get Blink off my mind. I don't understand why my comment about Spot would upset him.

I decided a few moments later to go to the Lodging House and see if Blink was still awake, surely they would be playing cards or something like that. I slipped through the shadows towards the house.

It was dark inside the Lodging House but I needed to talk to Blink. I slid in through the window and hovered around Blink's bunk for while.

Well, I thought it was my little pirate's bunk. It wasn't. I suppose my obnoxiously loud breathing (I was trying to subtly wake him up) had woken up a curly haired boy. He simply gaped at me then began screaming.

I ran into the bathroom and hide in the bathtub.

It seemed a few of the other boys had woken up and were trying to comfort the curly boy.

"Dere was giant rat standin' ova me!" The boy was near hysterics.

A giant rat. Of all the things I've been called that was my least favorite.

I suddenly heard Blink's voice, "Dere ain't no rat. You was dreaming. Go back ta sleep."

"But it was breathin' on me!" The boy I had frightened complained.

"Go ta sleep." Came several voices. The noise faded and it was quiet once more.

October 19, 1899



I'm in a bathtub?



Oh yes, I remember now. I am the giant rat girl who terrorizes young boys in the middle of the night by breathing on them.



It seems I had fallen asleep in the bathtub when I hid in the bathroom last night. My head is resting on the faucet; it certainly isn't as comfortable as Blink's shoulder. I do miss him.

Speaking of Blink, he is standing in front of me with nothing on.







Oh my.





He gasped and grabbed a curtain in front of him. I jumped up quite quickly and tried to run for it, but Blink grabbed my arm with a free hand, "Yorkie? Why are you'se here.. In da bathtub?" he asked.



I've discovered I'm not one of those quick-witted, snap tongued girls so I replied, "I needed a bath."



My companion raised an eyebrow; "You always take a bath with your clothes on?"

I stared pointedly at him and said, "Well, obviously you don't." and ran out of the room. I quite regret that now, I sounded so angry with him. I hope he does not think I am completely insane yet.



Blink thinks I am insane, Spot thinks I am insane, and I am surely doomed to a life of sewers and a rat kingdom.
