"Shall I tell you the story of my girl-life," said the strange, weird woman, putting a fresh supply of wood upon the fire, which had fallen into embers. Margaret's interest manifested itself in her face, as she answered, "I would like to know if others have suffered like myself?" "It will help you bear your own burden better, and perhaps show you that none escape the fire.
Sptz had to help her mother about the cooking, when there was any. She also had to help tan the skins of wild animals into a beautifully soft kind of leather which they could make into cloaks for winter wear by pricking holes in them with sharp bits of bone and weaving thongs, instead of sewing edges together with needles and thread. Sptz never saw either in all her girl-life.
It was the one magnificence of their house, this high, spacious terrace; Rosamond was thankful every day that Grandfather Holabird had to build the wood-house under it. After this, Westover began to grow to be more of a centre than our home, cheery and full of girl-life as it was, had ever been able to become before.

A gloomy wood by night has terrors for the bravest, and it was only the certainty that she was leaving girl-life chaperons, waltz-tunes, and bitter sneering, for ever that gave courage to proceed.
Still, it's a terrible drawback for the poor child she's never had any real girl-life and she's dreadful sensitive and retiring. We can't get her to go out anywhere, only for lonely walks along shore by herself. We're much obliged for what you did the other night. It ain't safe for her to wander about alone as she does, but it ain't often anybody from the harbour gets up this far.
