Flora and Ulysses Chapter 19 Summary

The Inadvertent I

  • As Ulysses sits in front of the computer this time, he thinks about how it's a little different than the typewriter at Flora's house; all the keys are in the same place, though, so it can't be too different. 
  • Flora, Tootie, and William gather around the squirrel to see if he can actually type. 
  • Ulysses looks around the room, thinking about what to say—he wants to write the truth, but he's not exactly sure what that is. 
  • He gets closer to the keyboard and types I. 
  • William points out that doesn't prove anything. Anyone could accidently type an I on the keyboard, but Flora thinks he's starting a sentence. 
  • They wait and wait for Ulysses to finish his idea.
