[A day after this.]

[Left in a plain white envelope on Raegan H's dresser when Housekeeping stops by, a gold American Express card in her name.]

I'll still pay the card, but this way you'll be able to build credit for yourself. Apologized to Ms. Westerberg as well.

[Delivered via courier to Maren W's RV. The courier stays until she signs for the box.]

The following are inside the box: a First Edition of The Talented Mr. Ripley, a First Edition of A Dictionary of the English Language,and a First Edition of Paradise Lost. There's an envelope on top of them with Maren's name written in strong, block letters. Inside is a key card to the suite next to Raegan's at the Wynn (which will remain available to her for the foreseeable future) and a note.

My sincerest apologies.

[She tries not to sign, but the courier won't leave, regardless of how many trespassing laws she looks up while he stands there. He remains throughout her entire, intentionally painful recitation of Pope's Pastorals. In the end, she signs out of sheer annoyance, and she sets the box aside for the better part of a day before opening it. There is a great deal of pacing involved before she relents, and she traces her fingers along the spine of the books before tucking them back into their packing. She sits on her bed, legs swinging, and she looks at the box, as if it intends to do a grand trick if she merely waits. There is a problem, Maren knows, in accepting the apology. When the insult was issued by Count Olaf, her crimes had been insignificant nothings. Now, they are no longer insignificant nothings, and she does not deserve the apology.

She tucks the key in the box, and she returns it to Raegan, rather than to Theodore, along with a note: I cannot accept these, though I cannot elucidate this matter. It is as close as she can come to an apology of her own.]
