...即使我在家里接受的教育要比Toyah的任何孩子都更好，但我十三岁时也需要去上学，既要获得社交恩典又获得文凭。爸爸说，因为在这个世界上，接受良好的教育还不够。您需要一张纸来证明自己去。
(...even though I was getting better education at home than any of the kids in Toyah, I'd need to go to finishing school when I was thirteen, both to acquire social graces and to earn a diploma. Because in this world, Dad said, it's not enough to have a fine education. You need a piece of paper to prove you go it.)
