![]() Whatsit leaves – but not before dropping a bomb on Mrs. After downing a sandwich and emptying out the water from her galoshes, Mrs. Whatsit seems to know more than she should about the Murry household. Whatsit herself arrives, looking like a tramp in a mismatched assortment of scarves. Charles Wallace tells them about his new friend Mrs. Murry joins them in the kitchen, and among the cocoa and sandwiches Meg feels much better, though still depressed that her mother is both gorgeous and brilliant while Meg thinks she hasn't inherited either of those qualities. Everyone thinks he's slow, but really he's smarter than most people. Charles Wallace is the sibling Meg feels closest to – not only does it seem like he can read her mind sometimes, but he's also an oddball like her. She goes downstairs to make some cocoa, and finds her younger brother Charles Wallace is expecting her, and already has some cocoa going. Meg hates herself for being unable to hold in her feelings and act normal like everyone else. It doesn't help that her father has disappeared. Her teachers think her stupid, her friends think she's a baby, and she beat up a boy for talking smack about her younger brother. Meg Murry sits in her attic bedroom, freaking out – partly because there's a storm, but more because she feels all wrong.
