“And this is Rachel, my younger sister

Before he could utter another word Rachel walked forward and took up a stance in front of him with her hands on her hips
9.
At last Rachel ran out of breath
10.
He realised that Rachel’s outburst was the culmination of months of trauma and sorrow and in a sense, it reflected all their thoughts and feelings – the words that they couldn’t utter themselves
11.
It was her wise aunt, Azubah, who broke the uneasy silence and spoke up first, addressing Rachel
12.
“My dear Rachel, listen to me
13.
She could see that Rachel regretted the outburst, but the words had been spoken and the damage had been done – the moment could never be taken back or reversed

25.
“And what was that?” Rachel asked sceptically
26.
Maybe I came down a bit hard on her, Rachel thought as she lay on her bed after her run-in with Helez
27.
She was the one the boys had always liked, while she – Rachel – had been the chubby one, just worthy of a single glance from the boys
28.
And now – what had changed? Rachel knew she wasn’t an ugly duckling anymore, but Helez was more beautiful than ever
29.
At first Rachel didn’t want to come along, but Helez pleaded with her until she gave in – Rachel needed the distraction

Beth comes over and sits next to Rachel on her bed

67.
Rachel and Ashley hurried up to the cottage where they tied up the she-goat and

Rachel then decanted this important liquid into a wine skin
69.
” At this comment, Rachel and I broke into smiles
