"Why does she want to go to town by herself?" asked Caleb. "To leave us?"

Quote #8
"Wait!" cried Sarah. "My chickens!"
"No, Sarah!" Papa called after her. But Sarah had already run from the barn into a sheet of rain. My father followed her. The sheep nosed open their stall door and milled around the barn, bleating. (8.34-35)
Sarah's decision to run out into a storm and save her chickens shows just how fearless and loving she is. It also shows how Jacob has come to care for her, and how he wants to protect her in stormy weather.
