welcome to what is technically my eighth chapter, although listed in my chapter list as the eleventh. this technically eighth chapter of my version of '102 Dalmatians', 'Beyond Sight and Memory' is a mere five-hundred-twenty-three words worth of storyline long. this eighth chapter's storyline, just as with all of the previous chapters, still excludes this explanatory headnote, right here, and the (mandatory) disclaimer that makes up the paragraph following this headnote. OK, enough of my jawing about! it's now already time for the (obligatory) disclaimer.

disclamation: I don't own '102 Dalmatians' in any way, shape, or form. I mean, I own it on DVD, but I was only seven when it first appeared in theaters, at all. so, it wouldn't even be natural for me to have owned '102 Dalmatians', at all. I also don't own either of the '101 Dalmatians' movies. I was but two or three years old when the live action remake came out, and when the original animated classic of '101 Dalmatians' came to theaters, I didn't even exist, yet. all these films are owned by the Walt Disney Movie Productions Company and by Dodie Smith.

Not very long after Miss DeVil's freak out about the fur fashion's that still lived in her room while she cooled herself in prison, of course, Jermaine had made it upstairs to collect 'Ella's fur fashion coats. After tossing them all together in a neat pile onto the floor where they would have waited for him to pick them up and take them somewhere they would never bother 'Ella' again, Jermaine brought all the fur fashion coats into a small, granite-floored closet just beyond the paintings that made up the wall by DeVil Manor's staircase.

As soon as the last ones of the fur fashion coats were all tossed into the room, however, 'Ella' brought forth one final thing for Jermaine to put into the room in which he had tossed the fur fashion coats.

Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: And this!

'Ella' held what she had wanted Jermaine to put away with the fur fashion coats from her armoire in one hand as she extent it out to her valet. She held onto Carlisle and Harriette in her arm on the other side. She even looked away from what she had handed to Jermaine as he went to retrieve it from her to put away with all her fur fashion coats. As Jermaine got his grip onto it, he revealed it as a slip of paper that 'Ella' had drawn a few years ago when she still let herself be called 'Cruella'. It was a sketch she had done a couple years before of herself in her previously much craved dalmatian puppy fur coat.

Even later than burying the fur beyond sight and memory, as 'Ella', herself, had termed her demands for Jermaine, the surprisingly meek Jamaican in question had busied himself by hammering away at his work on putting all the fur fashion coats away so that Miss DeVil would never have had to see any of them again, along with the drawing of the dalmatian puppy coat. Needless to say, it was such hard work for the poor Jamaican. Then as soon as Jermaine reached the stairwell back on the outside of the room after having hammered away at it like a slave, he shut the door from it when he placed his hand on the couch next to the stairwell when he just touched the motion activated switch on the left armrest for the couch, effectively locking them all away.

Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman (continued): Is it safe?

Miss DeVil even had her own eyes covered as she asked him if it were finally safe to look. Of course, 'Ella' did not cover either Carlisle or Harriette's eyes as she asked Jermaine were it safe to look, but it was not as though she could have covered both of their eyes at once as she only had two hands. Although, to have covered only her own eyes was quite insensitive to them both. Of course, Jermaine answered 'Ella's question about if it were safe to look.

Jermaine Marion Sabano: Yes, it's s-safe.

Of course, it was a whisper when it came from Jermaine due to the Jamaican's exhaustion. 'Ella', however, still heard it from him, nevertheless.
