[I'm Sorry I Never Really Believed," I Said. "Not The Way Jack Did.""It Doesn't Make Any Difference," My Mother Replied. Her Eyes Focused On The Beanstalk For A Moment, Then Returned To Mine. "You Believe Now. Be Safe And Smart Up There, My Gen. Be Yourself."Before I Could Answer, My Mother Turned Away And Walked Quickly Toward The House. I Turned To Face The Beanstalk.There Is No Going Back Now, I Thought.For Better Or Worse, There Was Only Going Forward. There Was Only Going Up. Seizing The Trunk Of The Beanstalk With Both Hands, I Pushed Off From The World Below And Began To Climb.]

This was the "broomstick" by which these women were said to travel. (119)
