Quote #10

"You know," Abby was saying as she served warm pomegranate wine to the women, "when we got here, I scrubbed us all raw. I washed the ashes and smut from our hair and bodies. I rinsed the smoke from the burning eyes of the children. But I could not wash the wailing of that woman from my mind." (30.7)

To be fair, Trembling Sally tried to murder Abby and Lily's kids while they slept, so it makes sense that Abby is a bit haunted by the woman. Still, though, we see again how Trembling Sally isn't just mad herself, but unsettles Abby mentally, too.
