Chapter 5

No new characters.

Lily begins to work in the beehouse. She enjoys it a lot.
June has a talk with August about how they both know that Lily is lying. Lily overhears them as they are talking. August just decided to give it time before confronting her. They will find out why she is here when Lily feels its right to tell them.
August tells Lily the story of her sister, May. She (May) gets upset easily and always sings, "Oh, Susannah" to try and get rid of her madness. She has been like that ever since her twin sister April died.
While Rosaleen and Lily are lying on their cots they start arguing. Rosaleen is jealous of Lily talking to August all the time. They get into a fight over it because Lily still thinks August might know stuff about her mother.
Rosaleen reluctantly agrees and they both try to get some sleep in the heat of the summer.
