Question

what you want is to learn how to be like other children.

No no no! Wrong

Uncle Oliver

Uncle Wallace

Aunt Laura

Elizabeth's

Jimmy Murray

Haha

Elizabeth was mixed up in it some way—I've

That will be interesting to learn more about. Foreshadowing.

Ouch.

"Father said I wasn't to have anything to do with your God," she said gravely.

Haha

"He is clear as the moon, fair as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,"

"They're strict Presbyterians and won't hold by any of your father's awful notions.

Cf. George MacDonald’s religious satire. The frozen chosen.

How very big and empty the world had suddenly become. Nothing was interesting any more.

Incipient depression: wrong

None of these things had any charm or consolation for her now. In her inexperience she believed they never would have again.

I won't let the Murrays see I'm afraid of them—I won't be afraid of them!"

Oliver and his wife, your Aunt Addie,

Wallace and his wife, your Aunt Eva,

Aunt Ruth—Mrs...

Uncle Wallace—she

Haha - no wonder his wife Eva fancies herself delicate.

How dared he kiss her—he had hated her father and disowned her mother!

Haha

the fretful face of the imaginary invalid.

Uncle Oliver,"

A joke was Uncle Oliver's idea of being kind and sympathetic, but Emily did not know this, and resented it.

Cross purposes - they dint understand one another.

Uncle Oliver chuckled and seemed infinitely amused and not a bit offended.

A good guy

Aunt Addie

Aunt Ruth—Emily

Such a parody.

Emily felt a sudden compunction. Had she cast a reflection on her father by her behaviour?

"Cousin Jimmy—Cousin

elfish face with a forked grey beard;

An elf! Therefore a kindred (advisedly - “she was kin to tribes of elfland”) spirit. Haha

Simile

Aunt Laura

Nice work, LMM!

Aunt Laura did not look like anyone else in the room. She was almost pretty,

Haha

Haha sad

Aunt Elizabeth."

Haha

Under her cool, appraising glance Emily retreated into herself and shut the door of her soul.

Elizabeth Murray would not have felt "put about" before King or Governor-General. The Murray pride would have carried her through there; but she did feel disturbed in the presence of this alien, level-gazing child who had already shown that she was anything but meek and humble.

Haha

a slight, black, indomitable little figure.

Haha

a design was forming of writing all about it in the old account-book.

And then the flash came!

now in this most unlikely place and time it had come—she

Haha - the writer’s superpower

after all, none of them were ogres and all were human, more or less.

Haha
