Quote #10
Dear Pearl, it said. Faute avouée est à moitié pardonnée. She didn't translate, but I managed to look it up and be comforted a little by her belief that a fault acknowledged is halfway forgiven. (58.32)
Agnès tells Pearl that she's already halfway forgiven if she admits her fault in Hoyt's death. It's a nice idea, but we can't help but wonder whether it's actually true. Do Agnès and Robby forgive Pearl, or do they go on blaming her for the fact that Hoyt isn't with them anymore?
