uncle eric sits at the table and i join him . he felt fairly calm , but somehow too heavy inside his skin . bear with me here would you ? no one comes down there early in the morning , which is confusing him now . clark lowered the pan , cut back on the fuel control , and waited . she put down the fork and cleared her throat . i will always give you everything that is within my power . i got away , but it was n't easy .
