we know that lizabeth is on the verge of becoming an adult because in paragraph two it says joy and wild animals gladness and shame become tangled together in the multicolored skein of fourteen going kn fifteen as i recall that devastating moment when i was suddenly more woman than child, years ago in miss lotties yard
I don't know exactly what the question is, but the quote you chose definitely fits in with the idea of Lizabeth growing-up. Other supporting quotes might include;
I was still child enough to scamper along with the group over rickety fences and through bushes that tore our already raggedy clothes, back to where Miss Lottie lived.
I did not join the merriment when the kids gathered again under the oak in our bare yard. Suddenly I was ashamed, and I did not like being ashamed. The child in me sulked and said it was all in fun, but the woman in me flinched at the thought of the
malicious attack that I had led.
