Edward P. Jones Quote
Mary O'Donnell had been nursing that baby, and the day after Agnes was committed to the sea, her milk stopped flowing. She thought it only a natural result of grieving for Agnes. She would go on to have three more children with her second husband, the seller of Augustus Townsend's walking sticks, but with each child the milk did not return. Where is my milk? Mary asked God with each of the three children. Where is my milk? God did not give her an answer and he gave her not one drop of milk. With the second and third children, she asked Mary the mother of Jesus to intercede with God on her behalf. Didn't he give you milk for your child? she asked Mary. Wasn't there milk aplenty for Jesus?
