THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 20/50 )

Goodbye, Layton.

I'll be away for a while to Washington D.C.

I'll bring you back a souvenir.

I'm sorry for what I did.

Dear Spivet Family, I'm gone for a while to do some work.

Dont worry, I'll be fine.

I do not want to bother you by telling you about it ahead of time.

Thank you for taking care of me. You're one of the best families in the world.

Where are you going?

To the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.

It seems like everyone ends up leaving in this house.

I'll be back.
