Circle?

If you are looking for a quote that foretells an awful occurrence, I would choose the following;

And then the awful thing. I don’t find it easy to tell about this. I want to cry when I have to bring it to my mind. Our youngest, the little one, my baby, she turned from her father. Just overnight. He come in and she got scared‐looking, stiff, with her eyes wide, and then she begun to cry and try to hide behind me. She didn’t yet talk plain but she was saying over and over, “Make it go away! Make it go away!”

And to top that the question I asked was told to look at line 40 something thru 58 and the text that you just referred to was from line 60. Does that still count as the answer?

I'm sorry, I don't know what version of the text you're working with. Different versions or publications can have different line numbers. If you place the text in question below, I will look at it again.
