My only drive was revenge; my body was always stiff, my head always pounding. I brushed sticky crumbs off the sticky table. “Shut The Box.” I said in a low, rough voice. I was an excellent…

She did become a good companion to the children, as she was available to them for advice when they had problems. For instance, when Catherine bursted into the home and exclaimed that, “I want to know what I should do.

Nelly also sympathized…

to calm Catherine down, Catherine strikes him. Using a simile, Nelly says, “He possessed the power to depart as much as a cat possesses the power to leave a mouse half killed, or a bird half eaten” (71) describing him as a cat.
