Chapters 7-12 Summary

       
       In chapter seven Juliana Glamm is taking a ride in an aero plane with her father. This is very dangerous and shows how brave she is even if she is worried about crashing. Her father flies her over to the Titanic and shows her it. They have first class tickets aboard it and will be on it in less than a week.
         Paddy had been sleeping on the Titanic for four nights now. He still was discovering new amazements. He had been searching the ship for hiding spots so he could hide if he need be. He decided he would need to fit in with everyone so he stole a crew uniform and put it on. Just when he was admiring himself ,John and Alfie Huggins walked in. Alfie was getting a uniform because he worked for White Star now. After his dad had left Alfie saw Paddy come out of his hiding spot. Alfie was very worried because he had admitted that he was only fifteen out loud to his dad and that the steward, Paddy, had overheard.
          In chapter nine the boarding of the Titanic began. The ship was buzzing with activity as passengers boarded the ship including Juliana and her family and Sophie and her mom.
          In chapter ten Paddy walks among the first class passengers. He is in pick pocketing heaven. As he serves champagne to the wealthy travelers the Titanic barely misses a fatal crash with another ship.
          In chapter eleven Juliana's father is in an intense, money consuming poker game. Everyone is drinking and having a good time accept Julie. She is mad that her dad has been playing poker and will not escort her to dinner as he should. Instead of doing it himself he gets a steward, Alfie to do it which only humiliates Julie. As she is sat down at the same table as Sophie you can see her confusion on why she is sitting with this girl but they educate each other on what they are doing there. Although they seem very different they both realize they are the same in some ways.
            Before Alfie grabs a shawl for a wealthy women in her luggage he goes to see his father in the boiler room. It is a very large ,crowded , and hot room. It must be extremely dangerous with all the smoke and fire in it. After he grabs the shawl in the cargo hold he sees something move in a bright red motorcar. What could it be?
