How is the life in the house in Chapter 10?

Jacob only has a few more days to decide whether to leave his father and stay in the loop, or to go with him back to the US. His father has been wallowing and drinking heavily, sure that his new book is not going to work out, so it is easy for Jacob to sneak away into the loop. At the house, Miss Peregrine has instituted what is nearly a lockdown in order to keep everyone safe, and all of the children are stir-crazy. Miss Avocet is still there, and everyone speculates as to why the hollows would want to kidnap ymbrynes. Jacob sees Horace make an apocalyptic prediction one night.
