In these two chapters, Doctor Thorne learns that his niece's other uncle, Roger Scatcherd, has made him the executor of his estate. Inside of his will he has stipulated that if something should happen to his son, his only heir, then the bulk of his estate, which includes $200K, will go to his sister's first born child, which just so happens to be Doctor Thorne's niece Mary. Doctor Thorne spends the bulk of the remaining chapters going back and forth debating on whether he should tell Roger about this development.

The way Trollope continues to add dimension to the story through multiple plot lines always impresses me, but this one in particular I was surprised by. I knew that Mary would need to inherit in some way so that she could be with her obvious future man, Frank Gresham the younger, but I truly did not know how it was going to happen. I am curious to know if Roger Scatcherd, her unknown uncle, will come to be known to her or if he will die before she or Doctor Thorne can make him aware of the situation.

Doctor Thorne's internal struggle in regard to the future well-being of his niece and the seemingly underhanded way it might occur contributes to his upstanding character.

In these 3 chapters Thomas finds himself alongside his friends in a strange new place, the last thing he remembers being saved by a group of strange individuals. After waking up he is in the midst of chaos, the others freaking out about a bunch of zombie-like people trying to brake into the room they've all been sleeping in. After some discussion they decide it best to try and break out of the room only to find the people that saved them hanging from the ceiling.

My reaction to the initial 3 chapters of this book is a little confusing, since I do not have any idea about what has happened to the people that saved them and why they are in this strange place. I'm curious to find out how they got there and what they plan to do in order to escape.

Thomas's leadership skills are being tested in ways they were not in the maze, so he feels a little scared and overwhelmed, this coupled with the fact that he doesn't actually know everyone that escaped with him makes him feel bad.

Throughout the next 3 chapters, Thomas and the other Gladers still find themselves trapped in this strange place, they escape from the room they were trapped in and find a new room, one with a plaque that is labeled as Teresa's room, but after breaking in they hear a toilet flush and a boy who introduces himself as Aries walks out of the bathroom.

After reading these last 3 chapters i've felt that I only want to read more, so far its been very immersive and a lot of questions have been asked, so i'm really excited to see the conclusions to these questions.

Little has changed about their situation, although they continue to find themselves in new scenarios. Thomas and the other Gladers along with Aries talk and try to find out whats going on, who this new boy is and where is Teresa?

In the next 3 chapters, Thomas and the Gladers cool their heads and start to think rationally. Some of the more important members have found tattoos on their backs, labeling themselves as "leader," "glue" or "to be killed by group B." They are all startled and leave the room to search for food as the hunger has started to set in. After leaving the room they all begin to look for food when all of a sudden the lights go out, and when the Gladers find the switch to turn them back on all of the bodies previously hanging from the ceiling are gone. But that wasn't possible they thought, as the lights were only out for a minute or so. In the chaos of all this Thomas then buckles down, and takes a nap.

Through chapter 9 things are slowly starting to come together, it has been a while since I've read the last book but everything's sort of coming back to me. Each chapter is getting more and more interesting as the book story gets deeper and continues to paint new imagery about their surroundings.

Thomas is dealing with a little sense of helplessness and struggling with the fact that his best friend, a girl named Teresa is missing. He is trying to cope with it by being a leading figure to the rest of the group but he still feels kind of lonely. In my opinion I think the struggle of being alone will build his character into a potentially more independent person.

Thomas wakes up from his nap and convenes with the rest of the Gladers and Aries. They find a man behind an invisible wall sitting and reading a book who tells Thomas he needs to wait for another 47 minutes before he can tell them anything. But while they wait they find a large pile of food next to the wall so the starved kids all eat until they throw up. The 47 minutes finally end and the wall goes down, the man then tells the Gladers they are group A and that there were other maze trials, he also tells them that they are moving on to phase 2.

# data[].attributes.body
My reactions to the next 3 chapters were 1, confused as to why an invisible wall which no, is not glass is just thrown into the story. And 2, where did this man come from and how did they get all this food into the room with nobody noticing? But other than that I saw the "multiple groups" thing coming as it was foreshadowed and Thomas was named "to be killed by group B". These last couple chapters were exciting nonetheless and, and I'm looking forward to what happens in phase 2.

The situation has changed completely as now the Gladers are not starving and can think straight, also with a "2nd Trial" being added to the story it opens up more possibilities and layers for James Dasher to pile onto the plot.
