Quote #10

Before they left Margaret stole round to the back of the Vicarage garden, and gathered a little straggling piece of honeysuckle. (2.21.125)

Margaret is ready to leave Helstone—maybe for the last time. But she makes sure to take a piece of honeysuckle as a keepsake. She's not as interested in her old house as she is in the natural world around Helstone. The piece of honeysuckle was no doubt growing there when her parents were still alive, and it symbolizes a happier time.
