Quote #10
She had memorized the hornbook in a few day’s time and sped through the primer. After that she had plunged headlong into the only other reading matter available, Hannah’s tattered Bible. Kit had chosen the Psalms to begin with, and slowly, syllable by syllable, Prudence was spelling out the lines, while Hannah sat listening, her own lips often moving with the child’s in the lines she remembered and could no longer read. (16.62)
It is reading and learning that brings Kit, Hannah, and Prudence together – and which helps Prudence flourish and gain confidence.
