THINK, PAIR, SHARE Ms. Whatsit says to Meg: “It was really a very great honor for me to be chosen for this mission. It’s just because of my verbalizing and materializing so well, you know. But of course we can’t take any credit for our talents. It’s how we use them that counts. And I make far too many mistakes.” From WRINKLE IN TIME
