Shane was horrid to her, always sneering at her because she was honest and simple about the things she liked. Shane hated Stella-I think it was because Stella didn't want to be a lady of quality. She was quite happy to be herself. That's what really worried Shane. Shane likes people to compete so that she can make fools of them.
