Continuing from the conversation they're having. Mrs. Fetters was born in Alliance and did not leave her hometown and when raising her kids, she knew that Guy was gay since he was three or four, which I am not surprised. She stated that there was a little trouble when he was 14, that is messing around with friends, playing games that she knew weren't games. This reminds me of some of the people who shared stories that weren't aware of their sexuality and felt as if they're okay to make any moves among their friends. In her own response she sent him to Bible Camp and then to the Nebraska Boys Reformatory Facility in Lowell to get cured. I am disappointed how she took this action to the extreme and never mentioned any conversations with Guy, it was really making me feel that she wasn't supportive with him.
She also mentioned that when he returned home at the age of 18, he packed up his stuff and left. So, my previous blog was a guess with Sabine.Time goes by and she still blamed him, but she realize that it was herself to blame. I mean who would want to be sent off to that kind of facility where trouble kids go to as well as other disturbed children. Maybe that's the entire reason why Guy left but I have a feeling that there are more reasons for him not to return. The conversation soon ends and that Mrs. Fetters asked for a favor from Sabine. She asked if she could stay one more day and to visit places where Guy spend his time and what he liked. I really think that was beautiful and very human for Sabine to do for Mrs. Fetters and Bertie.
The following day, Sabine first brought them over to Parsifal's Rug Store because she mentioned to Mrs Fetters that Parsifal didn't make a living off of magic, it was a terrible life. One of the Rug stores was well taken care of by Salvio, a Nepalese guy who worked for Parsifal for the longest time. He was very kind and respectful type of guy which was great. Another special thing about the store is that this is where Parsifal and Phan first met and I thought that it was really cute. Next, she brought them to the Magician's Club where all the magicians perform and compete. As they all sit and talk, one magician at a time began to share memories of Parsifal, it turned out to be an amazing moment, because how they respected Mrs. Fetters and Bertie by kissing their hands. This demonstrated how they all absolutely love him and it was heart warming.
As they spend most of their time one magician called upon Sabine to assist him, she knew the trick, but it brought back memories of her and Parsifal, which led her to break down. I knew that kind of pain and it really squeeze my heart to see her in pain. Thankfully, Mrs Fetters and Bertie were there to save her and comfort her. I feel like the Fetters are really good people and deserve a second chance from Parsifal. The book is really entertaining and my emotions continue to change as I read through.
