Agnes Jemima's Childhood with Tabitha

Agnes Jemima grows up in a privileged Commander household, loved by her adoptive mother Tabitha. Tabitha tells her a fairy tale about rescuing her from a castle, which Agnes later realizes is a cover for her true origins. They play with a dollhouse that mirrors their home, and Tabitha teaches her a bedtime prayer song. This period of security and love shapes Agnes's early worldview.
