Agnes is 13 now, old enough to be married off. An Aunt comes by to inspect her. She is fitted for new clothes and enrolled in a new school, Rubies Premarital Preparatory.
Shunammite and her friend Becka (Mr. Grove’s daughter) are at the new school too. Becky is terrified of marriage (it’s implied her father has been molesting her) and is depressed. In floral-arrangement class, she cuts her wrist with the scissors and is hopitalized.
