Emily thinks of the word 'intruder'.
She thinks of the word 'prowler'.
One morning, two days after Emily finds the pillow removed from the bed and placed on the floor, she visits the orphanage. As she enters she finds that the children are gathered in the building's inner courtyard lined up to get on the school bus and go to the National Anthropology Museum. Since Emily is studying history at the university Mother Agata asks her to come along as their guide.
'The Japanese' are unable to leave the orphanage because their injuries are still too grave for them to move around easily. Mother Agata sets them up at the kitchen table with a large jug of lemonade and a plate of toffee candies made from goat's milk. On the table she has also laid out large pieces of cardboard drawing paper and pots of paint and paintbrushes.
