[edit] Chapter 4: The Outskirts of Town
[edit] vermin
Her word for this is "marmoset," which doesn't really trigger any associations in English.
[edit] clackers
An older toy involving two balls suspended on a string, which children tried to swing so the balls smashed together. Wiki page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clackers
[edit] Rail's sobs
Rail isn't outright wailing at this point, and it's difficult to find an English onomatopoeia for low weeping. "boohoo" seems to have sarcastic connotations and doesn't quite fit.
