Part 1 - Mark and Frost talk once again in Mark's cell. Frost explains that existence is self-justifying and that terms such as "good" and "bad" are meaningless. Therefore, whatever is, should be. And whatever is growing more so, should grow more so and be encouraged. Mark is sent to the Objectivity Room for training. He is then sent to keep watch on "Merlin" who wakes up and speaks to him in course English.
Part 2 - Jane and Mrs. Dimble prepare for Mr. Maggs's return and reuniting with Ivy, setting them up in a little cottage on the property. They talk about marriage. Jane contemplates the coldness of her own marriage. She then has a chaotic vision of giantess and several dwarves disrupting the house.
Part 3 - Mr. Bultitude wanders out of St. Anne's grounds and is captured by N.I.C.E. staff, apparently intended for some sort of animal experimentation.
Part 4 - Mark has further "objectivity training" and develops a strange friendship with "Merlin".
Part 5 - Jane tells the director about her vision. He explains to her that she likely saw a terrestrial copy of Perelandra, and that she is in a dangerous position, being neither pagan nor Christian, and that she must find a home. The house gets word that Mr. Maggs is not being released, but instead will be subject to the rehabilitative treatment of N.I.C.E.
Part 6 - Jane walks in the gardens and argues within herself about God & her role, whether she has understood her real place. Then she finds herself seized by God, and sees a brief glimpse of who she is in and for him.
So if you would like to join us for the next book, go ahead and order your copy of Centrism Games by Rachel Fulton Brown and the Dragon Common Room. Considering its length, once we've started that, we'll soon be talking about what will follow.
I look forward to your thoughts on this chapter.
