Beatrix, you are one interesting girl. I knew your story would be interesting, and of course it was, but not in the way that I had planned. For some reason, I was almost expecting you to imitate a repeat of Poppy's meeting with her hotelier. I certainly didn't expect you to fall for a tortured war hero. Nor did I expect for you to sit and wait in the shadows, secretly afraid to show your true self to the real world. Who knew you were really the scared one in the family? You, the girl who ran wild and free with the animals. 
 What a sweet story. It wasn't what I had imagined for Beatrix, but it was still satisfying nonetheless, and a pleasant ending to my time spent with the Hathaways. I will most certainly miss this fun and eccentric family.
