Chapter 9 - WR
Summary
There are others who help Sara get through some rough times and it was Lottie, who
adores her so much. Lottie did everything to know where Sara’s room is located and Lottie
somehow get to know where Sara’s room is. Sara saw Lottie is in her room and Sara tells her that
the room is not so bad and she can see all things from the attic. They look out the window. The
house next door is empty and Sara says she wishes someone lived over there so she'd have
someone to talk to. They feed crumbs to the sparrows and Sara talks about all the amazing things
that she can see from up there and she even pretends that her room is full of nice furniture. Once
Lottie leaves, she sits around feeling pretty sorry for herself. Just then, a large rat emerges from
the wall with its eye on some of the crumbs that Lottie dropped. Sara doesn't scream like other
little girls would. Instead, she watches the rat and encourages him to come out. Though he's
pretty scared, the rat finally takes the crumbs and then darts back into the wall A week later,
Ermengarde comes to join Sara in her room and overhears Sara speaking to someone named
Melchisedec Ermengarde ask who Sara is talking to and introduce Melchisedec and that Sara
imagines Melchisedec’s whole family. Then, they hear a knock from the other room. It's Becky,
who communicates with Sara through the wall.
