Page 35 - "I'll never forget the strange change that came over us the next instant. Until that point, this whole thing about Madame, had been, if not a joke exactly, very much a private thing we'd wanted to settle among ourselves."
Holy anecdotes! The first part of the story has been chalked full of them. I almost forgot that the current setting is in the future. However, I believe that these are setting up a big part of the plot for later in the story. This has also helped me to a lot about the characters just from background stories. Another thing I wanted to touch on is why does the Madame fear the children? I believe that it is because the children were made to be donors in life, and that she thinks of them as less than her. A good analogy made is that the children are thought of as a spider, which is very relatable. I am alarmed to see a spider and all I want to do is stay away from it.
