Help! Need to know 1 paragraph from Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones?

I took this book out from our local library and have been reading it to my kids. Tonight we got to chapter 11 and the first paragraph has been scribbled out with a ball-point pen and is totally unreadable! My kids are very anxious to continue with the story! If anyone has the book and would be kind enough to type in the first paragraph from chapter 11, it would make one Daddy and 2 little kids VERY happy!
