48. Explain Jeannette’s promise to herself on page 208.

I am not finding this promise, as I have an e-text with different page numbers. Do you have a quote from the page or a chapter number for this question?

no

Jeannette thought she was failing at keeping her promise to Maureen for not protecting her. Walls promised herself that she'd give Maureen hot baths, a warm bed, bowls of Cream of Wheat but she wasn't able to. So she tried to give Maureen little things like a birthday present.
