Chapter 19

• MATILDA
• I watched the men, every one of them addressing each other like the best of companions. Be that as it may, I could feel the pressure in all their words. They mimicked being partners, yet I realize that they were just keeping their enemies close. I've heard their discussions around each other. Every one of them were compromised by the force of the other. Every one of them were trusting that the second will assault so they could guarantee the privileged position. Every one of them thought often about nobody other than themselves.
• It was hard not to gaze at the people for a really long time. I knew all that they did. I knew all that they were able to do. Their insider facts were all put away in my cerebrum, and my mind tried to help me to remember them. It was murmuring what these men believed that no spirit should hear.
