"The Handmaid's Tale" pgs. 199-255

At the beginning of this section, Offred talks about the summer in the past.  In the present, her and Ofglen have conversations of secret passwords.  Then there is a gathering of all the Commander's, Wives, Handmaid's, etc. and new angels are taken in.  It is kind of sad because they are crying.  Also, the Commander's wife wants Offred to have a baby so bad she tells her to have sex with Nick, then once Offred agrees, she receives a cigarette from the Commander's Wife.  Also, the Wife shows Offred a picture of her baby, which has now become a little girl.  Towards the end of the section, the Commander takes Offred to a hotel in a lingerie costume and Moira and Offred run into eachother.  Moira ran away and was caught and instead of having to go to the Colonies she was turned into a prostitute.  Weird......
