By paragraph 12, we do not know much about the first old woman except that
she has a "terrible, square smile". When the narrator describes the woman's
"hand, quick as a claw, reach up in the air and pluck the white cap off [Marian's]
head", and "At the same time, another claw to match drew her all the way into the
room". Given the word choice here, how does the author want US as the reader
to feel about the old woman?
