Quote #10
[…] it seemed to Deborah that Suzy had somehow darkened over these two days. She had been free to go out and leave the prodigal elder sister to all the praises, but she had stayed. Was it perhaps the virulence after all—the slow poison of Deborahness which conscious will told her did not exist, but which still whispered, "They lie! They lie!" deep in the places beneath logic and will. (25.33)
Deborah relapses a bit at home when she realizes Suzy is lying about wanting to hang out with her instead of with her friends. It makes Deborah think negative thoughts again: she starts the believe that she's poisonous and a detriment to others.
