What does Anna remember about her mother in this chapter?
I closed my eyes, suddenly remembering Mama and Papa standing that way, Mama smaller than Sarah, her hair fair against Papa’s shoulder.
What did Caleb think Sarah was going to do in town?
She had gone to buy a train ticket to go away!
What does Sarah bring with her when she returns? What are the reasons she brings these things?
The package wa Sarah has brought candles from town. And nasturtium seeds for her garden, and a book of songs to teach us. (and 3 colored pencils)
Why are the children so worried about Sarah going to town alone?
“I am loud and pesky,” Caleb cried suddenly. “You said so! And she has gone to buy a train ticket to go away!” “No, Caleb. She would tell us.”
Why is Caleb so happy when Sarah returns and what does he tell Sarah when she gets back?
“Seal was very worried!” he cried. “And the house is too small, we thought! And I am loud and pesky!”
Papa shook his head. “Not Jack,” he said. “Jack is sly.” “I am sly, too,” said Sarah stubbornly. - What is sly?
Devious or not to be trusted.
Who is Sarah’s favorite horse?
Jack
Caleb points out what is missing from Sarah’s drawing of the sea. What is it?
“What is missing?” I asked Caleb. “You said you knew what was missing.” “Colors,” said Caleb wearily. “The colors of the sea.”
