## Contents
Chapter XXXV, titled "Ah, Annatoo!", continues the narrative focusing on the character Annatoo and her persistent pilferings. The chapter details various incidents of Annatoo's thefts, including a log-reel, knives, hatchets, ax-heads, and ultimately the ship's compass. These actions lead to her nightly incarceration and eventual removal from her culinary duties due to fears of poisoning. The chapter also describes Annatoo's changing and increasingly contemptuous behavior towards Jarl, and Samoa's surprising blindness to his spouse's misdeeds, drawing a parallel to Belisarius and Antonina. The text concludes with a reflection on Annatoo's "hard fate."
