"As they came out from the shelter of the trees and the Great Meadows stretched before them, Kit caught her breath. She had not expected anything like this. From that first moment, in a way she could never explain, the Meadows claimed her and made her their won. As far as she could see they stretched on either side, a great level sea of green, broken here and there by a solitary graceful elm. Was it the fields of sugar cane they brought to mind, or the endless reach of the ocean to meet the sky? Or was it simply the sense of freedom and space and light that spoke to her of home (76)?"
This passage depicts the first time that Kit sets eyes of the Meadow. In this Meadow, there is a little shack where she meets the one person in the whole town that she can really talk to. This is the first time that she can compare somewhere in America to Barbados in a positive light. In the book, she always talks about missing home and its beauty, but this is now one beautiful place that reminds her of home. This one place gives her happieness. She has not been genuinely happy until this point. This also marks the beginning of her friendship with Hannah.

To answer my earlier question, yes Kit goes and sees Hannah again. Have not heard anymore about Nat. She talks about her homesickness for the first time with Hannah in this chapter.
