Quote #10

Many a night Sylvia heard the echo of his whistle haunting the pasture path as she came home with the loitering cow. She forgot even her sorrow at the sharp report of his gun (2.14)

This incident weighs on Sylvia's mind well into adulthood. She understands that this was an important growing experience for her and presented a very different path that she very well could have taken.
