“She always was a jolly sight too keen on being grown-up.“

“I wish she WOULD grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she’ll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one’s life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can.”

I remember reading this part about Susan as a child and being so sad about it. Reading this part again as an adult, the sadness is deeper and more resonant, for I now know many dear souls in real life who have chosen Susan’s path.
