- Janie and the twins are reading a novel silently, using telepathy to communicate. She receives the message that the twins want a book with pictures. She gets it. It's a boring catalog of clothes. The twins are pleased.
- They've all been happy since they discovered this new place with the books.
- It's a big house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a fence that contains woods and a brook. It has some food and is obviously the Kew house.
- Disturbingly, there's a little room in it with chains on the walls and bars.
