Aunt Baba was devastated but unable to do anything about Adeline's banishment.... and even through that devastation she continued to provide Adeline with a sense of hope.

I saw the mortified stoop of her shoulders and had no heart to challenge anything she was saying. I understood dimly how important it was for
both of us to relish the dream, though I could think of nothing but the heartrending prospect of being sent away from her forever.
