About This Quote

Agatha Christie said, “Why were girls in such a hurry to grow up? Agatha would never understand. Childhood was magical. Leaving it behind was a magnificent loss.” This quote gives an explanation as to why children like the girl in the story, Agatha Christie's “The Secret Adversary,” would rather stay children than grow up. Children are given the opportunity to be free and do as they please without any worries of responsibilities, trust me, I know that feeling!
