The action of the first ten chapters of this book starts outside Mattie's house, when her mother (Lucille) gets sick. She throws up blood and they get a pharmacist to look at her. He isn't an educated doctor, but he is all they can find and afford. The pharmacist tells them that she just has a small fever, but when they find a real doctor, he said that the pharmacist had gone around and demanded money in exchange for lying to all the families that had a sick member. People just threw their loved ones on the street if they were sick.
The key events were when Polly, the server at the coffeehouse, died, and when Mattie's mother and Collette got sick. These events foreshadow that more and more people are going to get sick. It is meant to show the reader what is happening in detail. These events happen at the coffee house and the Ogilvie house.
The events of the tenth chapter end when Mattie and her grandfather get on a carriage that will take them to the country-side to live with some family friends. Grandfather and Mattie think that they will be safe out in the country-side, but they worry a lot about Mattie's mother.
