Silent reading: The Phantom Tollbooth, finished! Summary: Chapter 18 "Castle in the Air" After consulting another demon, Milo and his friends moved on through the Mountains of Ignorance in search of the Castle in the Air. Moving on just to find another demon waiting at the entrance, which they didn't know was the entrance. This demon was the Census Taker and he took all kinds of information about the demons they have faced already and they all came forward to try to eat them! The Census Taker asked them for their names and other personal information and Milo and his friends answerd correctly. When they finished their last question, the Census Taker asked, "Destination?" and they answered "The Castle in the Air." Then suddenly Milo noticed a circus and decided he'd much rather go there. Tok smelled something he couldn't resist and the Humbug was too scared and just want to stay with his friends and the demons were getting closer. Then the circus disappeared and Tok couldn't smell anything. The demons were getting closer, they were almost at their feet. They noticed a staircase in the air and climbed it. The demons wouldn't dare to follow them! In the Castle in the Air, they finally found Rhyme and Reason, the two beautiful princesses that had been banished from the world. The castle was beautiful but it was really just a dungeon and only looked beautiful to Milo. The princesses jumped on Tok's back, Milo grabbed his tail, and the Humbug held onto his ankles and they jumped but the demons were waiting for them. They didn't know what to do."
Chapter 19 "The Return of Rhyme and Reason" Everyone that Milo had met through his journey in the land of the Tollbooth was there prepared to fight against the demons in the Mountains of Ignorance. What good friends! The King of Oz and the Mathamagician arrived together prepared to fight, even though they were enemies! Everyone fought against the demons and won! The Dukes of Definition read a Proclamation that stated that this day, the return of Rhyme and Reason would be a holiday in the Land of the Tollbooth, and would be called "Milo Day"! But Milo declared he had to say goodbye to all his friends. It was so sad saying goodbye to Rhyme and Reason, who he had just met, but they had been so kind to him. Chrono, Candy, and everyone else but especially Tok and the Humbug. He promised to come back again. Milo jumped in his car and drove away.
Chapter 20 "Goodbye and Hello" In the regular world, Milo had only been gone for an hour. It was 6:00 he went to bed with the Tollbooth still there. The next morning he went to school, telling everyone about his journeys. He got home and wanted to go back to the Tollbooth, where he had a better life and could be with his friends. But he discovered the Tollbooth was missing and in its place was a letter explaining that other boys and girls needed to use the Tollbooth too. Milo knew that he didn't have to be bored again because he could remember the lessons and stories and adventure from the Tollbooth for the rest of his life. The End.

Letter 1: Topic: School & Church
Dear Aunt Sarah,
I would like to start with answering the questions you have asked me. I think the baby should be named Rachel as you have thought a beautiful name yes, and a boy Timothy to remind us of him. But if you like Daniel it is perfectly fine with me, I do to. I have a really good friend here two actually. Samantha Browne, Lillian Standish and Patience Rogers who I think has a silly name. Patience also says she is righteous and I am not because I am not Puritan. About eighty four settlers are a part of our colony now. I like it here in the New World and the only reason that I would wish to go back to England is to see you and Edward and sometime soon the baby. The governor here is William Bradford. He is doing a fine job as governor and employed father as a cooper.
Mother is teaching me more school and we hope Edward will go off to the closest Academie soon. I have started my second sampler and it is more complicated than the one before. I am putting figures and letters on the sampler. I am very well literated Mother says. I have just finished reading my Catechism and I have learned a lot. Mother has said that I will be learning about the receipt book next. Father and Mother were talking about sending Myles to Dartmouth. Dartmouth is a new university that has a work study program where Myles can go work for the university and get to be a student in return. Oh yes we have eight kids in our family now.
The Puritan church here is nice. We have to go the first day of the week for the Sabbath Service. We sit two pews before the back and one pew behind the Deacons, because we are Anglican. Our family does not sit together Father sits with the other men in the colony, and Mother sits with us. Mother brings foot warmers to Church because it is cold, not like the Church of England. Samantha and I sometimes go outside and practice using the psalm. I love the songs and hymns in it.
I thank you for responding to my letters, I am still at health I thank God. I am glad to know you are. If I may ask you to send me some patterns from England to make a dress that would be wonderful, any kind will do. Your niece Ruth Alden
