❛ it helps abigail forget the bad things. ❜ helps her forget the ridicule, the loneliness — though, stubbornly so, it always returns. ❛ here! you’ll play mister bear and abigail will play miss bear! ❜ she’s already given him the teddy bear that’s been dubbed ‘ mister bear’ ( with a bowtie to boot, as if signifying its gender in her childish mind )
❛ ‶ it’s hot today! will my flowers be all right? i just planted them .. ‶ ❜ her voice is childishly pitched as expected in such activities.
