"'Then the girl has been disobedient and deceitful.' Matthew clenched his fists in frustration.'The girl has been thoughtless and headstrong at time. But her upbringing has been such as to encourage that.'
'You admit then that her education has been irregular?'
'You can twist what I say as you will, Sam Talcott,' said Matthew in steely anger. 'But I swear before all present, on my word as a freeman of the colony, that the girl is no witch (212).'"

This piece of dialect is the first and only time that Matthew protects and shows the littlest sign of love towards Kit. He stands up for her in the meeting to say that she is no witch. This defines his character as someone that doesn't want to show any feelings outside but really does have strong feelings inside.

I found out that she ends up marrying Nat and moving back to Barbados for the summers!
