Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Lo opens the door into the lounge, and is blinded by the shimmering light bouncing off the crystal chandelier. She mocks its garish wealth. Lo seeks out the Bullmer cabin, where Carrie has told her that her clothing and Anne Bullmer's wallet full of cash and identification are stowed, but keeps getting turned around in the hallways. Finally, she finds the door and changes into leggings and a neutral top, slipping the kimono on over it. She searches for Anne Bullmer's wallet, and in the process finds a hand gun hidden under scarves in the dresser drawer. She continues to search, and eventually finds the wallet in the third desk drawer. Lo prepares to leave, but as she opens the cabin door, she hears a flirtatious staff member chatting with Lord Bullmer in the hall. Lo slips back inside and hides on the veranda, praying that Lord Bullmer doesn't come outside.
Lo waits on the veranda for hours. Lord Bullmer comes inside, turns on the TV, and calls for Anne. He remains in the room alone, watching television, until nearly 1am. Lo wonders how she will escape, even if Bullmer does fall asleep, when she hears the engine purr to life.
