Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Curie takes Citra to her house, which has a river and waterfall built into and around it. The home is called Falling Water. Curie takes Citra to her room. Citra says she knows that Curie does not like her and asks why she has taken her on. Curie says she has her reasons and leaves. Citra falls asleep quickly and does not wake until dinnertime. Curie takes her downstairs, and the table is set for two. Curie’s hobby is cooking, and the dinner is elegant and extensive.
In the morning Curie and Citra go gleaning together. Curie drives a Porsche. It was a gift from a man whose father Curie had just gleaned. She said she gave the man solace after his father’s death, but she does not give details. They drive hundreds of miles to a small town, which Curie prefers to gleaning in a city. They walk down the main street slowly. Curie asks Citra to observe people to try to “get a sense that they’ve been here too long” (183). She says that people grow stagnant, yet age has little to do with it.
Curie singles out a man, and they follow him. She tells Citra to notice that he walks as if weighed down and that his shoes are scuffed as if he no longer cares about his appearance.
