"I wished to mix a witch's broth and proposed it with assurance, she would have held out a large clean saucepan."--chapter 11
Just an interesting line that might be a metaphor for the narrator's less than kosher purpose, and how she sucks Mrs. Grose into her intrigue with the children.

Definitely. I wonder if Mrs. Grose did have any fascination with the children before the narrator showed up. Was she intimidated by them or is she just being a good maid and staying out of her masters' business. At the beginning of the novel she kept tried to hide thing from the narrator. For what reason? Were intentions to protect herself or the children?
ReplyDeleteOne thing I have noticed about this book, at least for me, is that there are less lines that I find quotable or that bring up thoughts for me. I don't know if its just that the authors style I find awkward to read or just that I wasn't looking hard enough, but I'm beginning to think it was the latter. This is probably one of those books that you can't really get away with reading it once.
Well, I got the impression that she simply watched the Quincy issue quietly because she didn't want to cross the line. You know, 'cause it's not really her place to get involved with the children's affairs until the narrator brought her into it.
