Vocabulary And Pathetic Fallacy

"...the Inuit's new camp...was in a valley, small and snug above a high-walled bight." (The Merman's Children, p. 180)

"Margrete...was attired in a gown and wimple..." (p. 186)

When Ingeborg brings Margrete good news and bids her to heed:

Boisterousness, a banner and laughter arrive with the good news. Here is the pathetic fallacy yet again.
