Jacob is trying to get information about Grandpa Portman from his father but his father isn't really wanting to talk about it."I never dug to deep with your grandpa because I was afraid of what I'd find." Jacobs dad tells him. He tells Jacob about how one time he found a letter from another women and after hearing this Jacob feels shame for believing his Grandpa and his story's. That's why Jacobs dad didn't really have much respect for his father. Now Jacob feels confused because he wants to believe that his Grandpa is a good man but how can he after what he's discovered.

"I'd seen them in the photographs". Jacob is in the old house and he finds a big, rusty, locked chest. His curiosity gets the better of him and so he tries to open it but can't get it. So he decides to drop it down the stairs and it's so heavy it falls right through the floor, into the basement. Jacob is nervous because the basement is dark and he hasn't been down there yet. When he gets down he finds out the trunk is full of pictures so he starts looking at them. And then he starts hearing the house creak and when he turns around he see's a dozen of the kids from the photos. He was so shocked all he could do was stare as one girl had fire coming out of her hands.

"I unfolded myself from the cramped cairn tunnel and stepped outside only to be blinded by light.Shielding my eyes, I squinted through split fingers at a world I hardly recognized." Here is a bit of foreshadowing when Jacob says 'a world I hardly recognized' because it's true. Once he's through the tunnel he's in a totally different world. He doesn't quite yet realize that he's gone back in town but he is starting to notice something is different. For starters it's a nice, sunny day which is odd since it's usually cold and dreary. Then when he walks through town everybody stares at him like he's crazy and now Jacob is thinking what is going on?
"My name is Headmistress Peregrine, or if you prefer since you are not currently under my care, Miss Peregrine. Pleased to finally meet you." This is the moment Jacob has been waiting for, to finally meet Miss Peregrine and get some answers. He now knows somehow he's landed in the past. Jacob meets with a girl, Emma whom he saw on the other side of the tunnel. She leads him back to the orphanage and in the yard he sees all the kids from the photos. Now he's certain his grandfather told him the truth. When he meets the Headmistress she is nothing but kind and trusting towards him. The other children are a little uncertain of him and don't believe him about who his grandfather is. So finally Miss Peregrine sits him down to have a talk about what's happening.

"I'd still like to know how someone manages to get a sunburn on a day like this." This is what Jacobs dad says to him after he's spent a day in the past with the peculiar children. He is beginning to get a little suspicious of Jacob. Like why he has a sunburn and where he spend his days.
"I lay there in the dark, still looking." Jacob is talking about Emma and he is realizing that he has feelings for her. Everything he does he thinks about Emma. But he also knows that it's wrong because she loves his grandfather and he's only a replacement.
