Quote 1

Lugh ain't jest yer brother, He's Emmi's too, he says. Don't you think she's got as much right to go as you? (7.196)

Jack has a point, as usual. Saba has spent a lot of time whining about how bad she feels with Lugh gone, but she hasn't paid any mind to how it might have affected Emmi. He was the only sibling that was actually nice to her, after all.

Quote 2

It sounds so awful when she says it like that, that I never had no time fer her, but she's right. I didn't. Not when I had Lugh. (7.226)

Besides the whole mom thing, Saba has issues with Emmi because she never needed her. She had Lugh, right? But that's just plain old selfishness in our book, and Emmi deserves a whole lot better from her sister—the main woman in her life.

Quote 3

If it'd bin Emmi they took, he says, Emmi an not Lugh...would you of gone after her? (7.243)

The answer to this one, as we all know, is a resounding no way. To her credit, however, Saba freely admits this and genuinely works on being a better big sister to Emmi.
