Passing on

I got up from the bed and went into the living room and for some cigarettes and to give Mr. Antolini a buzz. Mr. Antolini was the English teacher at Elkton Hills. He's the one who put a coat around James Castle and took him off the the infermary. He asked if anythingwas wrong and I asked him if I could stay and all. He said fine. Then I put the phone down and went back to see Old Phoebe. I hated to have to tell her that I was going. I asked her if she had any money, she gave me a little of her Christmas monay. I was so moved, I cried. I gave her my red hunting hat, she loved it. It was easier to get out of the appartment than in. The door man wasn't even there.I got out alright.
