Quote #10

I was the only woman on board on the outward bound voyage, and was very coddled. One fine day, I dressed in some of William's clothes and climbed up the mainmast to the crow's nest.

As I peered out across the calm waters, with the salt spray in my face and the wind blowing my hair, I whispered softly, "This is for you, Mary Bradbury. I do this for you." (Epilogue.14-15)

When Susanna is on a ship with her big bro, she's on cloud nine, and sitting in the crow's nest is icing on the cake. Did you notice how she puts on her bro's garb to make this climb? Why do you think she does this? We know Susanna thinks men have more freedoms than women. And now she gets to pretend like she is a man for just a little bit, which makes her super happy.
