Quote #10
[Lily] peeped around the corner of the shed and saw two old ladies in dressing gowns and slippers dancing slowly around the lawn. It was a sight that would have made Tracy Gilman burst out laughing, and yet Lily thought Nan and Serafina's dancing sort of fitted: fitted the beautiful garden and the perfect lovely day she knew was coming, after all. (42.59)
It's extremely significant that one of the final images we get from in story is May and Serafina dancing, just as they did as children, despite their old age. Perhaps Clarke is trying to say that it's never too late in life for reunions or reconciliation, or that some friendships truly do stand the test of time, even in the midst of absence. Either way, we're glad May's fantasy of being with Sef comes true.
