Chapter 13 Summary

Drew meets Andrew in the attic for their marble game. He confirms that he really did see Andrew earlier and expresses his fear about losing his identity. They set up the marble game. Andrew is very skilled and wins quickly. Drew hangs his head and cries. Andrew frets over whether Drew is ruining his reputation. Andrew complains that it’s hard to be Drew and understand all the advanced technology. Drew counters that it is just as hard to be Andrew and perform all the period-appropriate customs. Andrew reveals that Drew’s parents came to visit upon hearing of his hospitalization. Andrew was impressed by Drew’s father’s job and wants to also become an archaeologist one day. Drew feels jealous that his parents came home from this dig in France temporarily to check on him in the hospital and he wasn’t present.

The next day, Drew climbs the tree with Hannah again and feels more confidence. Hannah reveals that Mama said that John Larkin was fond of Hannah. Drew reassures Hannah that even though she is free-spirited, John likes her and women will eventually get the right to vote.
