Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Drew swims after Edward and drags him to the rocks, saving his life. Edward is immediately hostile and ungrateful, claiming that Drew must’ve fallen in too. Drew lunges at Edward, fists raised. Edward starts making ungentlemanly threats, saying he’ll tell his father Drew pushed him. Edward throws sand in Drew’s eyes, and Drew leaps onto him. Edward bites Drew’s shoulder, and Drew punches him in the nose, giving him a nosebleed. Edward runs away, howling that he’ll tell on Drew. Drew wonders how much he has merged with Andrew. Theo is proud of Drew and imagines Edward won’t bother them anymore. When they get home, Papa is in a temper. They know they are about to get whipped.
Edward told Papa that Drew dared him to jump off the trestle and then attacked him. Drew stands up for himself, telling the truth about what happened. Papa lashes him, but Drew does not cry this time. Even though Papa beat him, Drew can tell that Papa is a little bit proud that he stood up to Edward. During dinner, Drew has a vision of his time period and sees Great-Grandfather in his wheelchair, scowling.
