Chapter 26 Summary: “Olivetti”

Quinn takes Olivetti to a wooded area in a park. She has paper that she took from the post office, and she wants Olivetti to type out everything he can before Pop realizes that the typewriter is gone. Olivetti is worried that Quinn will return him to the pawn shop, but this does not stop him from wanting to help Beatrice.

Chapter 27 Summary: “Ernest”

Ernest goes to the pawn shop after school to look for Olivetti and Quinn, but he sees the pawn shop owner, Mr. Corrie, speaking to a police officer who is investigating the theft of the typewriter. Quinn pulls Ernest away and reveals that she left Olivetti typing away beneath a blanket in a park. She hands Ernest a thick packet of typed pages, a few of which she has already read. She tells him about a poem that Beatrice wrote for someone named Brian Branson. In an online search, Quinn found a Dr. Branson nearby. He is accessible by the number 12 bus. Ernest assumes that Dr. Branson must be the therapist whom his mother arranged for him to see a few days ago. Quinn suspects that Dr. Branson may have been his mother’s therapist; Ernest is surprised and never knew that his mother was in therapy.
