Six long days in which nothing at all happened. That is to say nothing new. The weekend roared through, Dorso's parents went back to work, school resumed, class fed into class. There was a moment of excitement when the history teacher said that no matter what they saw in time holograms, kids wouldn't understand history unless a teacher guided them through the controversy. Frank asked what controversy the teacher meant and the teacher said that all history was open to interpretation and Frank said there wouldn't be any problem at all if they would remove the blocks so that kids could see it all and not a watered-down version. Life went on. The cat found a new hiding place by crawling through a small hole under the stairs and working his claws up into a floor joist to hang inverted like a sleeping bat. But Darling found that the vacuum-cleaner hose would just fit through the hole. She put the control dial on super-tornado-dust-atomizer-seventy-four and the cat came out nearly voluntarily and not totally bald.
