"But I didn't say or do anything. It was partly, I suppose, that I was so floored by the fact that Ruth would come out with such a trick....I decided just to turn and go." pg. 195
This scene in the book is the turning point. The point where Ruth has pushed things too far. Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were having a conversation when Ruth went too far and things couldn't be fixed. Ruth just doesn't know when to stop. She doesn't really care how other people feel and she just speaks her mind as she pleases. She made Tommy feel bad about himself and made Kathy sound like a bad friend. That's what pushed Kathy over the edge, and swayed her decision to apply she applied to be a carer and set out on her own.
