James brought over the omelettes, setting one down in front of her. "Surprised the girl isn't up yet, actually. She's not one to miss out on a meal too often," he said, shrugged, then took a seat next to Chloe.
"I should thank her; it was most kind to lend that blanket," Chloe stated, then, hungry as she was, she began eating rather hastily. Soon she caught herself and slowed down to eat more politely.
Finished, she stood up and put her plate next to the sink. She then looked back at Lambert, who was still eating. Sitting back down at the table, she said, "Thanks again for the meal, James. I enjoyed the omelette."
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
