Wow, that was fast. Molly paused to watch Rue go - very quick, very silent, very impressive - before she glanced around and, for lack of anything better to do, begins to thumb through the journal, starting at the beginning.

...what a strange book.

She glanced up, startled a bit at Rue's reappearance. Between the girl's silence and her own absorption with the journal, she'd not noticed her return. "Oh - thank you."

She smiled and reached out to take the socks. "I'll have to get you another pair later."

Not 'wash and return' them, because Molly anticipates them being pretty much trashed.
