Chapter Summaries & Analyses
After dinner, during which the guests switch seats twice more, Lo spots Lord Bullmer and makes a break to chat with him. Somehow, despite being moved so much, she never got the chance to meet him. As she walks, Cole Lederer comes out of nowhere and startles her with a camera flash. She gets upset with him, and then attempts to save face by explaining that she was just trying to catch Lord Bullmer before he left for the night. Cole apologizes, and then calls Lord Bullmer over–Lo is embarrassed but agrees to meet with Bullmer in his cabin the next day, to sit down for a brief meeting.
Lo returns to her cabin later that evening, completely drunk. She fishes for her room key in her bra, but can't seem to find it–at the same time, Ben Howard looms in the hallway, and asks in a snide voice if she wants help. Lo keeps fishing and rejects his advances, but Ben comes up behind Lo, tears her dress, and aggressively fondles her breast. In response, Lo kicks Ben hard in the groin, and he falls to the floor.
