The Fox, Grandfather, makes it seem as if she is jealous. Orual, however, seems to genuinely feel his words foreshadow something bad.
"Speak words of better omen, Grandfather,"I said, though I knew he would scold and mock me for saying it.For at his words, though on that summer day the rocks were too hot to touch, it was as if a soft, cold hand had been laid on myl eft side, and I shivered.
