Evan Andrychowski’s Reviews > Fever 1793 > Status Update

The grave buriers respected Matilda's grandfather and Matilda said thank you and left. Mattie is walking the streets with no one around and she is starting to feel queasy and really needs food. I think she will find food and probably get the fever

[SPOILER] Matilda's grandfather died and she is the only one left and is looking for food. At her grandfather's burying Matilda was mad at the men who were burying him because they were going to bury him without a prayer.

After reaching a part of the city they had been told there is no food around. Matilda is freaking out, but Mrs. Bowles tried to calm her down by telling her a about the job at the orphanage. I think they would get back safely and Matilda will not take the job at the orphanage.

Grandfather and Matilda ate riding along with five fever kids. Matilda has been asked to stay with the fever kids and help without mothers knowledge. I think Matilda will not say to help.

Mattie had a nightmare that her grandfather had his troops aim their guns at her and shot. She saw two sheets with corpses and thought they were her grandfather and mother but weren't, her eyes are filled with tears. So far I am absolutely loving this book.

Matilda and her mom, Lucille went to a lady's house to have tea. The ladies name is Pernilla Ogilive and her daughters, Jeannie and Collette joined. After a few conversations, Collette was looking sick and Lucille said this isn't looking great and everybody thought of the fever. Lucille sent a letter to check on Collette and her family and got no response.

The coffeehouse is filled with people all around Philadelphia talking about the fever and Mattie is the server. Later that day her mother was scared to send Mattie to the markets because of the fever.

This book so far is about a girl living in Philadelphia in 1793 living with her mom, grandfather, and her maid, Eliza. Her family owns a coffee house, and her serving girl, Polly has died and she is trying to find out how she died. Her mom is acting really suspicious about it.
