"The figure in the wheelchair was frail and contorted, and it was the voice more than anything that helped me recognise her." (Page 255)
Tommy and Kathy finally decided to get their deferral. However, their theory was a bit off-base. This sudden emergence of Miss Emily makes me pause and wonder how she came back into their lives. But it doesn't really matter, does it? She is there, and her presence will be explained shortly. I can only assume she is going to reveal all of the secrets from Hailsham. Appropriately, the word "sham" resides in the name of their school. Was it all a sham? No. They had to live their lives a certain way because of that school, and they didn't get to experience some of the things I take for granted in my life because of that school and their cloning process. These poor people. I am not in any way jealous of their circumstances.
