As Arthur experiences various paranormal situations he starts to regret his decision of staying at Eel Marsh house for the night, and even going there at all. Arthur starts to wonder how Mrs. Drablow had endured “day after day, night after night of isolation” (p.82) when he had had “enough of solitude” (p.82) after just one night.

We made it down to the field with cheerleaders holding a banner and our coaches near us. Then Gavin Beck (a teammate) gave a speech to us and right after that we ran through the banner like we were the strongest people in the world.
