From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Henry had “primed himself for a beautiful scene.” Instead his mother peels potatoes and talks of socks and blackberry jam, and tells him, “I know how you are, Henry.” He leaves with “vague relief,” then looks back from the gate. What does she know about him that he has not yet learned? Underline the sentence of hers that says it best.
