As an only child & being home-schooled , Isabella never really grasped the concept of hide & seek. Even now in her 20s she believed that if she couldn’t see you then you couldn’t see her. It made for a very fast game. She later told the story about when her mother had forgotten that they were playing & she was ‘hiding’ for hours and hours. It was fun until the sun went down & she couldn’t find her way back to the house. From that day on she vowed only to play the game during daylight hours.
