"I never knew there was such a thing until after mother died, and I read about it in a book. Then I asked Aunt Janet and she said mother had broken all the looking glasses in the house when I was a baby. But I have seen my face reflected in the spoons, and in a little silver sugar bowl Aunt Janet has. And it IS ugly-very ugly." Eric's face went down into the grass.

Kilmeny was aware of it, however, and she picked up her violin with a pleased smile.
