Summary
It is the uncertainty that hurts her most of all. It is the skelf in her skin that lets curiosity in. It is nestled in her chest, it is the beat beneath her bones, and it is telling her that though she may not always have been a child, she is one now, and that tree is not too tall for climbing, and perhaps it would not kill her, even if she falls from the tallest branch.
It might kill her, she thinks.
She tries to remember an old adage about curiosity and cats and killing.Agnes Montague is something more often prayed to than praying. At the end of the garden under a tree that will one day kill her, she kneels anyway.
