    So it was an angel hehe. And it was a guy? It looked like a girl! hehe. Cute page though and you can see how troubled the girls looked when they told their mother what happened. Honesty does go a long way and I happy to see where honesty pays off for once. I am guessing the next page is going to be our time skip.

      Less a matter of being honest, and more a matter of being forthcoming.
      Isn’t like silence is dishonest.

    Well you know some people think that Angels don’t have a gender, so that could be an explanation. Or little boys in this apparent setting had longish hair.

    However I don’t think it much matters since the girls are safe and the artwork is gorgeous

      A lot of boys back then often wore dresses at a young age and had long hair.

        It looked like a night shirt to me. Even as late as the early 1900s, men wore night shirts to bed instead of pajamas. But you’re right about the long hair. I don’t know exactly when men started cutting their hair short as the predominant style.

    So much cuteness on this page–especially Rose Red’s little habit of picking a rose from each rosebush for her mother.

    That lady is surprisingly chill about her children almost tumbling off of a cliff.

      I guess when your daughters have a guardian angel watching out for them–it’s okay to be calm about them almost tumbling off a cliff.

      I thought that too! My reaction would have been something like, “You almost fell off a cliff?!”

        Well, obviously, Mom has had to handle these two high-spirited girls for quite some time by herself. (Note the single bed, no daddy here) She is used to them wandering in the forest late at night and other things we today would call foolishly dangerous. It seems to me that she is more interested in their supernatural experience than the danger they avoided. Because we today do not fully believe in the supernatural, we would focus on the falling off a cliff aspect of their story. Mom was too busy being amazed by the angel protecting her “good little girls” to worry about something like falling off a cliff.
