e (Part B) Have you ever seen a lame animal, perhaps a dog run over by some careless person rich enough to own a car, sidle up to
someone who is ignorant enough to be kind to him? That is the way my Maggie walks.
• f (Part B) How long ago was it that the other house burned? Ten, twelve years? Sometimes I can still hear the flames and feel
Maggie's arms sticking to me, her hair smoking and her dress falling off her in little black papery flakes.
g (Part B) I used to think [Dee] hated Maggie, too. But that was before we raised the money, the church and me, to send her to Augusta to school. She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice.
• h (Part B) It was Grandma Dee and Big Dee who taught [Maggie] how to quilt herself. She stood there with her scarred hands hidden in the folds of her skirt.
