"Lily had played the part of a shepherd once in the Christmas tableau, when she was about nine or ten ... she had argued her way into the role ... the teacher relented and told her that she could be a shepherdess, but Lily insisted that she was a shepherd, just like the boys. She had been so proud.
Now she wondered, a bit tensely, if it had meant something."
