I AM SO UPSET. BABIES ALL ALONE. I mean, I was cringing from the point the book was introduced, of course, because it was obvious what would happen-- that's not even Hugolian Foreshadowing, it's "basic knowledge of children"-- but it still stings.
BUT THE BABIES ARE COMPLETELY ON THEIR OWN FOR ALL THIS TIME?!? no one even comes to take their dishes away. Or bring them water. Or clean them. IF THEY CAN BE HAPPY TAKING APART A BOOK THEN GOOD FOR THEM, but I think it says volumes (badum-ching, but that's the right word, darn it) about just how ignorant Lantenac really is about the Torgue. I mean, besides the whole "evil piece of stain is seriously gonna kill three babies to make a point" factor.
