is there a biblical allusion on pg 991 (Maggie) when the baby reaches out to touch Maggie's dress? It sounds so much like the woman...
who reaches out to touch Jesus's hem in the gospels. Only she reached out for healing, and these girls think that Maggie will make them whor
not sure. Doesn't sound like it to me, though. Just sounds like the child is curious as to why all these women are gawking at her.
