The Spell-Bound Scholar
“She wondered how Mama and Papa had missed this thought. Unwilling to argue when she suddenly doubted all the old answers, she asked instead, Are you my mother? Not the mother who bore you, no, the kind lady answered, only your guardian while we search your life for this little while, search for the hurts that were done you. Why should we do that? Finister demanded, though she knew she had little choice—she recognized power when she saw it and could tell this woman had it, had far more power tha...n she did. Suddenly she saw the point of her law. We must right the wrongs that were done you, the kind lady said, insofar as we may. How can we do that? Simply by seeing them with an adult's eyes and judging them with an adult's knowledge, the kind lady answered, and the tableau before them suddenly blurred into a whorl of colors, whirling, then steadying to show Finister herself, little Finny at seven, telling Mama how the big girls had pulled her hair and pinched her—without using their hands, of course.MoreLess
