Marianne's food was divine. He was probably biased because of Arthur's cooking, but it was like a plate of heaven every mealtime.
Now that he thought about it, Marianne was really like his mom. Peter never did know his mom, but then again never really had any need to know. He remembered thinking that Marianne was his mom until he was three. Now, it was obvious that she wasn't his mom of course; she had red hair and brown eyes, and normal eyebrows. She had also explained that she wasn't to him several times.
While Arthur's scoldings meant nothing, he actually felt guilty when he wronged her. Peter also hadn't had many good friends his own age, and often followed her around when he wasn't exploring.
She excused him from the kitchen, feeling slightly annoyed that he was eating the food just as quickly as she finished cooking it. She warned him not to get into trouble, and the voice in the back of his mind slapped him on the wrist. He made it so it appeared he was going to his room; he passed Arthur on the way to the stairs and saw that he was dressed for travel.
Arthur went on a ton of trips, usually for a week or so. Peter felt bad about it, but he loved it when his father wasn't home. He and Marianne had a much more enjoyable time without him. The last time Arthur went on a trip however, he came back depressed and inebriated. Marianne got pulled into a yelling match with him, and he had to slink upstairs so as to not be dragged in as well.
He did feel a tinge of something when he approached servant's quarters.

Chinaboy was scarfing down the food, nearly inhaling it like oxygen. He had gotten dressed, of course, but he still felt filthy as he ate and ate. Before he knew it, the bread was gone and the apple was bare to the very core.
Hunger was a strange thing. If you remained hungry enough for a long enough time, it numbed itself out and you wouldn't feel the emptyness. If you did eat, however, it reawakened the gnawing monster within and you would feel your hunger doubled.
He immediately regretted eating it all at once, knowing that he should have saved it to last several days. Sighing, he climbed onto the small cot and started to sing a sad little tune to himself.
Xiǎo yàn zi, chuān huā yī
nián nián chūn tiān lái zhè lǐ
wǒ wèn yàn zi nǐ wèi shá lái
yàn zi shuō zhè lǐ de chūn tiān zuì měi lì
Little swallow, dressed colorfully,
Comes here every spring,
I asked her, "Why do you come here?"
She said, "The spring here is the most beautiful.
The children's song is terribly unfitting to his current situation, yet he can't help but sing it. The cheerful tune took on a melancholy tone in his small rough voice, and images of red rooms with low tables swirled in his mind's view. Images of his family appeared: his father, his siblings. HE tried to shut them out, knowing full well that he would only feel more depressed.
Xiǎo yàn zi gào su nǐ
jīn nián zhè lǐ gèng měi lì
wǒ men gài qǐ le dà gōng chǎng
zhuāng shàng le xīn jī qi
huān yíng nǐ
cháng qī zhù zài zhè lǐ
Little swallow, let me tell you,
It's more beautiful here this year.
We've built large factories,
And equipped new machines,
Please live here forever.
This song has never made sense to him. He couldn't imagine why anyone would choose the cold, European-sounding world. Nothing was beautiful here.
