The Ear, the Eye, the Arm Chapter 19 Summary

  • Tendai and Rita are in two different worlds at Resthaven.
  • While Tendai has fun playing games and swapping stories with the guys, Rita has to do all the work.
  • The guys take Tendai out to see the cattle and explain to him which ones belong to which people.
  • Then the boys stage a fight for Tendai to prove himself.
  • He wins. Everything is going well for Tendai and it seems like the villagers will accept him as one of their own.
  • Meanwhile, Rita is getting sick of cleaning everything just because she's a girl.
  • She's not even allowed to eat the same food as Tendai.
  • Today, while she was preparing it, she took a bite, and the women put hot peanuts on her chest to burn her. Yikes.
  • Tendai says he wouldn't mind if she ate his food, but he knows the women won't listen to her.
  • He promises to make it up to her somehow. He's just not sure how he'll make that happen.
