Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Jules wakes to an unsettling sound in her apartment. She forces herself to investigate, but the sound stops. Chloe calls to check on Jules after hearing about the fire, which started in Mr. Leonard’s apartment after he dropped a potholder on the stove due to heart palpitations. Jules and Chloe discuss the incident and corresponding newspaper coverage. They discuss the articles Chloe sent, and Jules informs Chloe what happened with Ingrid. Chloe urges her to let it go because finding Ingrid “won’t bring Jane back” (163). She reminds Jules that she can stay with her whenever she wants and promises to keep her phone on while she and her boyfriend are in Vermont for the weekend.
Greta stops at Jules’s apartment to thank her for her help during the fire and invite her to lunch. Jules guesses that Greta is lonely and accompanies her to a nearby restaurant. Over lunch, Greta agrees to answer Jules’s questions. She confirms some stories about the Bartholomew, including those about servants’ deaths during the 1918 influenza epidemic and Dr. Bartholomew’s death by suicide.
Greta asks about Jules’s response to the smoke during the fire, and Jules confides about her parents’ deaths.
