"But Tommy, " I pointed out, "how could she have known the song had anything to do with people having babies? How could she have known the pillow I was holding was supposed to be a baby? That was only in my head. " Tommy thought about this, then said only half jokingly: "Maybe Madame can read minds. Moncler Coat She's strange. Maybe she can see right inside you. It wouldn't surprise me. " This gave us both a little chill, and though we giggled, we didn't say any more about it. THE TAPE DISAPPEARED a couple of months after the incident with Madame. I never linked the two

events at the time and I've no reason to link them now. I was in the dorm one night, just before lights-out, and was rummaging through my collection chest to pass the time until the others came back from the bathroom. It's odd but when it first dawned on me the tape wasn't there any more, my main moncler outlet online thought was that I mustn't give away how panicked I was. I can remember actually making a point of humming absent-mindedly while I went on searching. I've thought about it a lot and I still don't know how to explain it: these were my closest friends in that room with me and yet I didn't want them to know how upset I was about my tape going missing.

I suppose it had something to do with it being a secret, just how much it had meant to me. Maybe all of us at Hailsham had little secrets like that--little private nooks created out of thin air where we could go off alone with our fears and longings. But the very fact that we had such needs would have felt wrong to us at the time--like somehow we were letting the side down. Anyway, once I was quite sure the tape was gone, I asked each of the others in the dorm, very casually, if http://www.monclerbstore.org/ they'd seen it. I wasn't yet completely distraught because there was just the chance I'd left it in the billiards room; otherwise my hope was that someone had borrowed it and would give it back in the morning.
