BTSATM: Week 3, Chapters 8 - 10

Please use this thread to disucss Chapters 8 to 10 (including footnotes) of Behind the Scenes at the Museum.  Please clearly mark a SPOILER WARNING if your post contains plot information from later in the novel.

This section contained some highs and a low. 

Chapter Nine, Holiday! and Chapter Ten, Wedding Bells, were hilarious!  They seemed like scenes out of a TV comedy show of 30 years ago!

Footnote (ix) - In the Realm of Aire and Angells, was a low.  I found myself wondering what was going on when I entered this section.  I felt overwhelmed by all the new names.  Clearly we were to learn about Edmund's death, but I found this footnote to be boring and unnecessary.  I skimmed it.

I still haven't figured out what "the accident" involving Ruby was, but it must involve water.

I still haven't figured out what "the accident" involving Ruby was, but it must involve water.

It will be crucial -- since I read this once before, I skimmed much of it a night or so ago.  The accident still doesn't fit into the first chapter of the story to my mind, so I guess I shall have to go back and re-read more carefully.
