A very short section. Only three pages. But some interesting information is revealed. Boq has found a painting, in a book at the library where he works, of a woman breast feeding a mutant creature. He then brings it to Elphie who informs him of Doctor Dillamonds secretive ways. The conversation takes almost a turn for the worst when Boq asks about Galinda, his crush. Elphie does not understand why she means so much to Boq. “ ‘She is my world,’ he answered. ‘Your worlds is too small if she is in it.” (Maguire 127) Afterwards, they leave so fast, Elphie almost gets run over by an ox.
