Quote #10
"Bridget, my name is not miss. It's Charlotte."
"I'll not be wanting to take the liberty, miss."
I turned to face her. "Even if I want you to?"
"I don't think the master would approve, miss."
"But if I asked you to..."
"Not wishing to be impertinent, miss," Bridget said in a barely audible voice, "but it's master who pays my wages."
I looked into her eyes. Bridget looked down. I felt a pain gather about my heart. (22.110-22.116)
Charlotte learns that, despite all that she has accomplished on the ship, her radical ideas about class probably won't be catching on in her father's house – or in his society – any time soon. After all, Bridget has to make a living, doesn't she? (Sigh. It's all about money.) Was the situation on the Seahawk a unique opportunity for equality? Why not America?
