England stood on the edge of another great war then, the war we’re in the middle of now."]]> 2022-05-11 18:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bcomello/ckvfy6d6kofdei5r/wish/2179927899 London, UK sortiz217 https://padlet.com/bcomello/ckvfy6d6kofdei5r/wish/2181710898 "Inside, the house felt dark and close. The air smelled tingly. The room we entered was full of odd thick furniture, all covered with dark purple cloth. The walls were dark colors, in patterns, and so was the floor."]]> 2022-05-12 17:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bcomello/ckvfy6d6kofdei5r/wish/2181710898 “The doctor’s place was right in town, near the train station.

It sat at the very end of a quiet dirt lane. Trees grew along both sides of the lane, and their tops met over it so that the lane was shadowed in green. The house sat pushed back from the trees, in a small pool of sunlight, but the vinessnaked up the red brick chimney and bushes ran rampant around the windows. A small roof sheltered a door painted red, like the chimney, but the house itself was flat gray, dull behind the bushes. Curtains were drawn over the windows and the door was shut tight.” bcomello https://padlet.com/bcomello/ckvfy6d6kofdei5r/wish/2181726225 This is important because it is the main setting, it is where Ada and Jamie live throughout the story.

He smelled like butter in the hot sun. I wanted to ride him but I wasn’t sure how. His back was a long way from the ground. Plus, the girl I’d seen had had straps or something to hold on to. I stood, holding on to the pony’s neck, and took a few cautious steps along his side. bcomello https://padlet.com/bcomello/ckvfy6d6kofdei5r/wish/2183239189 Ada see’s butter for the first time since getting to Miss Smith's house.
