Long Answer

1. At first, Johnny and Cilla are close friends, but her playful attempts to curb his pride have little effect on him. Later in the novel, Johnny takes Cilla for granted by breaking his promise to meet her twice a week. Near the end of the novel, Johnny has the humility to realize that he’s treated the loyal Cilla badly, and they express their mutual hope that they will marry one day. (Various chapters)

2. At the beginning of the novel, the prideful Johnny cares more about his plans for a prosperous future as a master silversmith than about the people around him. At the end of the novel, Dr. Warren offers to perform an operation that will restore mobility in Johnny’s right hand. Johnny accepts, not because he wants to reclaim his old life as a silversmith but because he wants to humbly serve the cause of liberty by joining the militia. (Various chapters)
