Trask and Rachel get everyone else out of the Hall before it burns down. Jamison and the other children, all of whom seem to come from families that do not want them, are sent to Rockport. But Nora comes home with Laura. Quentin offers Laura a brandy and she refuses. He has one. Laura has hidden the urn (with her flame) in the post at the gazebo. The post has a celestial sphere with an arrow through the sphere. She drops her snake twisting bracelet near it. Putting dirt on the flame in the urn makes Laura weak and can eventually kill her.
