“There’s so much to do in a family of this size, so much to see, so many people needing so many different things. How easy it is, Agnes thinks, as she lifts the plates, to miss the pain and anguish of one person, if that person keeps quiet, if he keeps it all in, like a bottle stoppered too tightly, the pressure inside building and building until —what? Agnes doesn’t know.”
