Quote #10

She blinked in surprise at the green eyes blinking back. "For heaven's sake," she said. "It's the kitten. Poor little thing. It took her three days to find her way back from Uncle Grady's to the cobhouse. Grandma must have stuck her in the hamper, meaning me to have her. What a surprise." (7.205)

Grandma isn't overly emotional, and she doesn't weep or tell the kids that she'll miss them like crazy when they leave. But she does sneak a little kitten into their picnic basket as a token of her love… and so they'll remember her.
