Chapter 12
Holly bought a christmas pig for Jack but he didn't forgive her. Instead of forgiving, he smashed the pig into the wardrobe and tried to pull his head off. He decided to find DP after everyone fell asleep.
Chapter 13
The things in Jack's bedroom got eyes and mouths and started to talk! The reason why they could talk was that night was Christmas eve that is very special night. They said DP was the Land of the Lost where the Things went if their master lost them. And the Loser could torture and eat DP if Jack didn't find him in there.
said a third voice, which was old and croaky.
At this, a whole chorus of voices mumured their disapproval.
he could feel it tugging at his duvet.
I've had just about enough of being hit!
Some of the Things had even sprouted arms.
what he's getting into
Chapter 22 Adjustments
Things might be found or Adjusted at any minute. It means that Things can end up staying in Disposable forever if nobody need them right now, but Things can move to Bother-It's-Gone - that's the next town - if they are starting looking for Things harder. Jack felt certain DP must be in Bother-It's-Gone, and asked Specs if he had seen another toy pig. He answered no, but felt suspicious to Jack.
Don't kid your self!
Chapter 23 The Plan
The Christmas pig scolded Jack that he shouldn't have told Specs about having his own cartoons and mentioning DP. Suddenly three new Loss Adjustors came to where they stayed with three passengers who going to next town, Bother-It's-Gone. As the Christmas pig was being concerned, Specs told them that he seen suspicous Things, Jack and the Christmas pig. Penknife who's one of three new Loss Adjustors suggest him to contact Captures. And he gave Specs three new citizend for Disposables from Bother-It's-Gone and lists of Things to leave, and there were Lunchy! Jack and the Christmas pig made a plan to hide inside Lunchy.
I only hope Specs doesn't tip off the Loser
Jack couldn't think of a good retort to this
We got held up
Shiver my screws, you don't say?
Funny you should say that...
I had a hunch she wouldn't be with us long.
The girl's got asthma
The mum's keen to find that lunchbox
Chapter 24 Lunchbox
As they made a plan in previous chapter, they went into Lunchy's while she showed the inhaler to them. And they threaten her very fiercely. Finally, they could take the wooden wagon heading Bother-It's-Gone. One of Adjustors told Penknife to keep watch for Things acting oddly because the Loser was so angry.
crept out of their room and back along the dark corridor, the pig holding his belly tight, to muffle the sound of his beans.
Lunchbox's room was quite as dark and shabby as the one they'd left, and even smaller.
It was very cramped.
''Shut your liid! said the Christmas Pig fiercely
We'll thll them you offered to smuggle us
jumping up and down as she tried to dislodge them, but Jack and the Christmas Pig clung on.
It'll be our word against yours!
leaving Jack and the pig squashed together in the dark with the inhaler.
The lunchbox's lid was a little bit warped, which was lucky as it let in enought air for Jack to breathe, not to mention a tiny ray of light.
Lunchy's tin bottom made such a racket crossing the wooden floor that Jack felt safe to whisper to the Chirstmas Pig, who still had his trotters clamped over the inhaler's mouth.
Finally managed to land with a clunk inside the wooden wagon.
I'm going to let go of you now. But if you scream or give us away, ....
let out a yelp of pain
Keep your eyes peeled
