When Fiona's mother came by in a little half-lane car to pick her up, and 
saw her daughter's red and ruinous face, an expression of black rage came over 
her own visage and she drove Fiona away without so much as a glance at Nell. 
Fiona showed up for church the next day as if nothing had happened and said 
nothing of it to Nell during the next week at school. In fact, Fiona hardly 
said a word to anyone, as she spent all of her time now daydreaming.
