Chapter 11 Summary: “Left Behind”

Christina knocks Marvin off James’s shoulder, sending Marvin flying through the air. James panics, asking what happened to the bug; Christina assures him the bug is gone and likely dead. Marvin lands on his back out of sight and struggles to right himself. He remembers Fortitude and summons the strength he needs to flip himself over. Once he’s on his feet, he hides under a table.

Not wanting to leave Marvin behind, James asks if he can come back tomorrow to work on the drawing instead of doing it at home. Karl is reluctant, but Christina tells James it’s a great idea because the main part of the museum will be closed. She tells James he can have her office all to himself. Karl, James, Denny, and Christina file out. Marvin notes that James is dragging his feet and is happy that James doesn’t want to leave him behind.

Once he has the office to himself, Marvin climbs up on the table and studies the open book where Justice is displayed. He settles in for the evening, admiring the lines of the piece.
