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.
