“I heard she married some hunter, well, they all marry hunters, so did I, ha! You’re just as foolish I expect, young girls are, some lad catches your eye and there’s your whole life gone, snap, a lap full of babies and grandbabies and it’s all over, you’re an old woman knitting at the hearth and that’s it, that’s it!’ I could not wait to get out of there. She shrank my whole life to the size of a poppy seed, and ate it.” — Betsy James

I could not wait to get out of there. She shrank my whole life to the size of a poppy seed, and ate it.
