How does the narrator's understanding of miss lottie at the end of the story compare to her feelings about the women at the beginning of the story?

At the end of the story, the narrator not only feels compassion for Miss Lottie, but as an adult, she feels her pain as well, the need for beauty, the passion for marigolds.

Hope this helped!

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !
