How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"I wish you wouldn't call me 'miss'"
"What should I call you?"
"Kate, of course."
"If I start calling you Kate now when it's just the two of us, I might slip up in public, and that'd be seen as impertinent."
"Silly rules."
"People like you invented them. Not me."
"Good point," She said appreciatively, a thoughtful crease in her brow. "Really good point." (5.134-140)
This might be the first time anyone has ever called her out on something like this. Most likely she doesn't spend a lot of time conversing with "the help" back home, and they wouldn't dare speak back to her the way that Matt feels comfortable doing. This is a great example of how unfair societies are where there is a clear hierarchy of social strata.
Quote #5
"My mother is wildly busy fluttering about in high society, and my father manages things."
"What exactly does he manage?"
"Other people's money mostly. It seems to take a great deal of his time and energy." (11.94-96)
Sounds a bit different than Matt's life, right? He was forced to take employment at the age of twelve to help support his family (for, you know, food and stuff) and Kate's dad makes a living just managing other people's money. Yikes.
