I think the question was "As Johnny shares his gifts with Cilla and Isannah, “he completely forgot his crippled hand. It was all as if nothing had happened and he and Cilla and Isannah were all one again.” What suddenly ends this happy scene? by this?What do you think the author is suggesting?"

Johnny dreamed that his relationship to the Lytes would enable him to give Cilla gifts. As he delivers his gifts, however, he comes to see that all is not as expected. Isannah has been welcomed into the family, and Cilla is treated like a servant. During the time that Johnny has been looking for respect and success, Isannah has been taken into a world of fashion and extravagance..... she is a completely different girl than the one he remembered.
