![]() ![]() Everything is peaceful, alive, vibrant, and harmonious. Ántonia and all the children show Jim their cave full of all kinds of fruit and their orchard, full of trees that Ántonia and her husband Anton watered individually. Jim finds that though Ántonia has lost some of her teeth, she is still full of life and energy. ![]() Her favorite is twelve-year-old, mischievous Leo, who was born on Easter. She then introduces all her children to Jim. When she does, however, she is very excited. He recognizes her immediately, but she takes awhile to figure out who it is. While walking up to Ántonia's house, he is greeted by a number of her children in succession, and right before meeting her, he feels terrified and nervous about seeing her. Jim was afraid to see the effects of twenty years on Ántonia but finally decides to go see her. He had sent her pictures of Bohemia when he went to visit, and he had visited Tiny and Lena in San Francisco, who told him that Ántonia had remarried a Bohemian man named Anton Cuzak, had a hard life, and had about ten or eleven children. After twenty years, Jim goes to visit Ántonia again. ![]()
