I was thinking about those things that the kids were able to get on trading days--or whatever they were called and then kept them in their own boxes. These, aside from clothes, were the only personal items they had. Somehow I think they were probably things that Oxfam couldn't sell. But to the clones, they became treasured. Is it going too far to say they became fetishes? I think that cheesy ping pencil case was one especially with the magical quality that Kathy ascribed to it by letting the other girls think Miss Lucy had given it to her.
