I found these chapters really interesting (after many re-reads going back decades) in terms of foreshadowing, both the 'fairy gold/farthings', and the way that Patrick has just no idea about family dynamics (Only Child Privilege?)- though feel it applies to group dynamnics more generally, given his spotty school attendance, or just general character.
Catkin - could this possibly be related to a gradual apprehension by the parents of the continuing effects of her trauma in TM&TT? - building up Ginty's wider confidence through an area in which she is already competent. (Though on general parental form, rather implausible.)
I larf liek drayne at Ginty's self-identification with Emily Bronte!
