The Witch of Blackbird Pond #3

'"And her son, William," continued her aunt. Braced to meet the reserve and suspicion she had encountered at every introduction so far, Kit was startled to meet the unmistakably dazzled gaze of William Ashby, and unconsciously she rewarded him with the first genuine smiole she had managed this morning. Kit had no idea of what happened to her thin plain features when she smiled. William was speechless. As she turned to follow her aunt and Judith, Kit know for certain that he had not moved, and that if she looked back sheh would see his sturdy frame planted motionless in the path.

This excerpt is a change in the whole story. It gives her character a point of continually existing. Before this scene, she was an orphan and was only living for herself. She had no friends and only one Aunt that wanted her. Her Uncle would much rather chuck her out than keep her. But, this one man gives her someone that she can look forward to seeing and was to continually live for. This passage introduces another character that I feel is going to become a main character in the book.
To answer my question from before, I do not think that she will ever become accustomed to their ways of living. She is constantly breaking or bending the rules of how things are done in this society. So far, she has not changed to their society.
