Subsidized Time

November 1

*0825-0832h. Gately lies on the couch while Lenz and Day almost fight (pp. 270, 280)

*Estimated date but can be calculated; it's said that Gately has been sober for 421 days that day (p. 274) and that Day has been in for only 6 days (p. 272). Since Day has been at Ennet since before Halloween (p. 545), this must occur within the first week of November. Since Gately's 1 year of sobriety occurred September on a Sunday in YDAU (p. 468), the anniversary is either Sep 6, 13, 20, 27 (Sundays of Sep in 2009); if you add 421 days to any of those dates in the year 2008, the only one that falls within the first week of Nov is Sep 6 2008, which ends up making the date Nov 1 2009

afternoon/evening Orin flies during football game entertainment (p. 65)

November 2

*? Orin sees guys in wheelchairs (AFR) following him on this day and for several days previous (pp. 244, 574*)

November 6

*1610h. Pemulis in the ETA weight room (p. 198)

*probably an error that this occurs on Nov 6; they do not have enough time to drive to Port Washington (3 hr drive), play matches, and drive back to arrive at 0030h. on the 7th (p. 283); this probably occurs in the previous few days of Nov

afternoon-night* Port Washington Tennis Academy matches (p. 258)

*they leave sometime around 8/9 P.M. to arrive in Boston at 0030h. (p. 283)

night-0030h. ETA teams return from PWTA (pp. 281, 283)

November 7

during the day* Joelle has Too Much Fun at Molly Notkin's party (p. 219)

*there's sunlight (p. 230), and it happens soon after she smokes cocaine in the A.M. since she leaves an hour later to get more cocaine & then attend the party (p. 225)

1435-1445h. ETA students attend prorector classes & listen to PWTA match announcements (pp. 306, 208)

1600h. Orin calls Hal to ask about Separatism, hasn't seen any wheelchairs in days; Hal leaves with Pemulis & etc. to celebrate Interdepence Day eve (Ft. 110, pp. 1004, 1009)

*after 1600h. Steeply asks Orin about family matters (p. 565*; Ft. 234, p. 1038)

*Estimated date; most likely occurred on the 7th, leading into Orin driving Steeply to the airport

*after 1600h. Orin drives Steeply to the airport, sleeps with the Swiss hand-model (Luria), is interviewed by Fortier (pp. 565*, 574**, 596)

*has to be the 7th, since Steeply is at ETA on the 8th & Orin called Hal earlier on the 7th for how to reply to Steeply's questions;

**it only takes a few hours for Fortier to show up afterwards, so all of this likely happens on the same day

*? Steeply & Bain correspondence about Orin/the Incandenzas (p. 663; Ft. 269, p. 1047)

*Estimated date; could happen anytime after the 7th after Steeply finishes interviewing Orin

November 8

*A.M. Joelle comes to Ennet House after her night in the E.R. (Ft. 134, pp. 1025*, 1026)

*contradicts with p. 364 where Gately says she showed up 2 days ago & spent 5 days in the hospital - this sounds more realistic but it's an error based on Molly Notkin's party being on the 7th

1400h.**-1600h.* Eschaton game (pp. 321, 342*, 1011**)

1400h.-1600h. Steeply shows up to ETA during the Eschaton (pp. 107, 327, 332, 341)

*A-squad starts drills at 0500h. (p. 217) & B-squads start at 0745h. (p. 60), so it probably ends around 0730h. since they are still out at 0720h.*

*~1600h.** Arslanian talks with Schacht and Pemulis while blindfolded (pp. 567, 570**)

*Estimated date; most likely either Nov 9 or 10, but definitely after the 8th since Doucette has talked with Mario

**the 18's do circuits in the weight room around 1600h. (p. 198)

*1800h. Gately drives to the supermarket to buy food for new residents (Joelle) (p. 475)

*Estimated date; could be Nov 8th, but sounds like Joelle had already been there for a day since Amy J. is the "new-today" girl and not her; Nov 9th since it must be one of the first nights of Joelle's stay - Gately's going because Joelle is a vegetarian & doesn't want Gately's cooking but every meal Gately makes contains meat (p. 469)

1800h. the AFR raids the Antitoi's store and kills Lucien & Bertraund Antitoi (p. 480)

after 1800h. the AFR search for the Entertainment; Fortier leaves to go to AZ* (pp. 722, 723*)

*the sun is about to rise at the end of their conversation***; after Mario gets back from his walk around ETA & Ennet**

*early morning** the AFR find the Entertainment copy (pp. 724, 725**)

*Estimated date; could be earlier on Nov 10/11, but it makes more sense to have happened later since it takes them "several days to find it" (p. 721), but not much later than Nov 12, since Joubet & Desjardins (AFR members who viewed it first) are dead by Nov 14 (p. 726) based on their plan to search for Joelle starting the same day, and it takes about 3 days for the average person to die without food or water

*? Fortier returns to the Antitoi's shop (p. 724)

*Estimated date; either Nov 12/13, since he arrives when Joubet & Desjardins are still alive (p. 725) and they are dead by the time the AFR goes out to search halfway houses for Joelle on Nov 14 (p. 726); this also must occur after Nov 11, since Fortier orders the AFR to stop surveillance on the FLQ when he arrives (p. 726) and they are seen spying on the FLQ on the night of Nov 11th (p. 589)

*during daytime Rodney Tine meets with Steeply; Student engineer is kidnapped by the AFR (pp. 620, 621**)

*occurs on a weekday** the day of Fortier's return (p. 726)

*during daytime Pat Montesian comes by to visit Gately (p. 817)

*14th since later this day Marathe talks with Kate Gompert in a bar after she gets mugged (p. 774)

*at night** Joelle attends a CA meeting after visiting Gately in the hospital (pp. 707, 710**)

*her visit is also alluded to from Gately's perspective (p. 818)

2200-2226h. Poor Tony wakes up after his seizure and robs Kate Gompert & Ruth van Cleve who are returning to Ennet from an NA meeting (pp. 698, 698, 700, 714, 728)

at night* Joelle dreams about Gately as a dentist checking her teeth then wakes up and cleans (pp. 723, 724*, 736)

*sometime after Joelle's CA meeting & around bedtime since Joelle & Charlotte Treat sleep & Kate's bed is notably empty

November 15

*near sunset*** Calvin Thrust comes by to visit Gately in the hospital (pp. 819, 824**, 827***)

*Estimated date; happens at least a day after Kate Gompert gets mugged since she doesn't return to Ennet**, but probably only the day after, since evicted residents Lenz & Hester Thrale's luggage are still on the porch which stays there for 3 days** (they were evicted on the 12, after the fight)

*during nighttime Geoffrey Day visits Gately (p. 827)

*after the Calvin Thrust visit, "sometime later at night"

*"in the couple of hours before midnight"-0000h. JOI's wraith visits Gately (pp. 829, 837)

*could happen the next day, but it seems like soon after the Geoffrey Day visit

*? ADA stops by Pat's office/Ennet about his guilt surrounding Gately (p. 960)

*Estimated date; the ADA mentions going up to St. Elizabeth's hospital "off and on for three days" and Gately sees the shadow of a man wearing a hat at night on the 12th (p. 810) which he believes is the ADA; however based on placement, it's possible that this happens on the 20th and that the "Middlesex County Sheriff's car" with the policeman at the wheel parked outside Ennet that Joelle sees (p. 958) is the ADA's ride; the ADA mentions that the "5th District boys – the P.D.s – speak well of the place" (Ennet) to Pat (p. 961) & the 5th District of MA includes some of Middlesex County

November 16

*A.M. three White Flaggers visit Gately (p. 843)

*unclear date, but seems like the morning after JOI's wraith visits

*A.M. Gately dreaming about Joelle & thinks of past memories of Mrs. Waite (p. 847)

*Estimated date; but probably occurs after the most recently mentioned visit

*A.M.** Gately wakes up from dreaming about Joelle as death to see the real Joelle visiting him (pp. 854, 855)

*Estimated date; probably occurs no longer than one or two days after Calvin Thrust's visit because Joelle is eating the brownies he brought over that were baked by Morris H. (p. 826); also can't be the 15th, since Joelle mentions that she went to "St. Columbkill's Meeting" the night before, which is different than the CA meeting she attended at St. Elizabeths (p. 707)

**Joelle has to leave before Ennet's "A.M. daily-meditation meeting"

November 17

*A.M. Gately dreams about Ferocious Francis and a M.D. visiting (pp. 883, 890)

0830h. Hal goes to Ennet and asks Johnette for help with finding NA meetings (p. 785)

*1100h. McDade & Diehl visit Gately in the hospital (p. 893)

*Estimated date; happens after Gately has the M.D. dream & thinks about his past drug use

*? Molly Notkin is interviewed by Rodney Tine Jr. about Joelle/the Entertainment (p. 787)

*Estimated date; this could happen anytime after Nov 7, but it probably takes place later on around the 17th based on its placement around other events happening on that day

after 1535h.* Pemulis gets blamed for Wayne's accidental dosing & set up to be expelled from ETA at the end of term (Ft. 332, p. 1073*)

*at least an hour after the broadcast

before 1435h.*-1730h. Hal attends the inner infant meeting (p. 795)

*Hal leaves ETA early & doesn't hear Wayne's broadcast (p. 899)

November 18

*? Gately thinks of his past experiences with drug addiction (pp. 902, 911, 916)

*Estimated date; most of this is just Gately's memories with no surrounding details, so it's very unclear when this is happening

November 19

? the AFR fail to find Joelle and plan to invade ETA; Randy Lenz & Poor Tony watch the Entertainment; Fortier leaves to conduct Orin's technical interview (p. 845)

*near 1600h.** an R.N. & M.D.come by Gately's room and set up a metal contraption in the other bed (pp. 918*, 922**)

*Estimated date; not much to go on, but if Otis P. Lord was set to get his monitor removed on Thursday (p. 948), assuming that that Thursday is the 19th, then it makes sense for medical attendants to set up the equipment soon before; also descriptions of the weather** sounds like the blizzard on the 20th will happen soon but not that same day

*? Otis P. Lord gets the monitor removed from his head (p. 948 )

*on Thursday, but could be the previous week on Nov 12, which would line up with when Gately sees a figure with a box on his head next to him in the hospital (p. 809); however, Otis P. Lord returns to ETA on the 20th to cheers from other students (p. 965), so it seems like his operation had just happened recently

twilight***/late night** Gately's fever gets worse; Lyle (wraith) visits him & he has the vision of him & Hal digging up JOI's head (pp. 933, 923**, 926***)

*? Pemulis finds his drug stash missing (p. 916)

*Estimated time; likely occurs on the 20th, but unclear if before/after trying to talk to Hal about the DMZ

*? Joelle leaves St. E.'s after visiting Gately, is interviewed by Steeply then goes back to Ennet (pp. 934, 938, 958**)

*Estimated date, based on the weather/blizzard; Hal mentions that the T would be suspending routes soon (p. 868), and Joelle says she got one of the last trains before the T closed**

*~lunchtime Joelle attends an AA meeting (p. 958)

*Estimated date; unclear but based on chronology, after Joelle returns/or doesn't return to Ennet; the person attending should be Joelle since the AA speaker is seen through linen/her veil

? ETA students get ready for the Exhibition meet with Quebecois team (p. 964)
