Read the passage, then answer the question. I used to think our neighbor Mrs. Kline was the strictest person on the block. She trimmed her hedges into perfect squares and swept her sidewalk even when it wasn't dirty. When a soccer ball rolled onto her lawn, she returned it with two hands, like it might explode. So when Mom asked me to bring a plate of muffins to Mrs. Kline, I carried them like a peace offering. I knocked softly, already planning my escape if she started lecturing me about crumbs. Mrs. Kline opened the door and stared at the plate. For a second she didn't speak, and I wondered if I had done something wrong again. Then her face changed—just a little. "Those smell… nice," she said, as if the word "nice" was new. Inside, her house looked nothing like her yard. A half-finished quilt covered the couch, bright with messy triangles of fabric. A small table was crowded with paintbrushes and jars of cloudy water. I blinked. This was not the home of someone who hated disorder. Mrs. Kline noticed me staring. "I make quilts for the hospital," she said. Her voice was quiet. "The kids there like the colors." I felt heat rise to my cheeks. All this time, I had been sure she was only strict because she wanted everything her way. I hadn't even considered she might be careful outside so she could be creative inside. From which point of view is this passage told?
