“她没有理由看起来饿得慌。
她总是有充足的食物可吃！" "当——当然，" 阿米莉亚小姐谦卑地附和道，惊恐地发现自己又像往常一样说错了话。
“在她这个年纪的孩子身上看到那种事情，真是令人非常不快，”明钦小姐带着傲慢而含糊的语气说道。
“什么——样的事情？”
阿米莉亚小姐冒险了。
“这几乎可以称之为挑衅了，”明钦小姐回答道，她感到恼火，因为她知道自己所反感的事情根本算不上挑衅，却又不知道还能用什么别的难听字眼来形容。
任何其他孩子的精神和意志，都会因她不得不屈从的这些变化而彻底变得谦卑和崩溃。
但是，说真的，她看起来几乎没有被压制，就好像——就好像她是一位公主一样。"
“你还记得吗，”不明智的阿米莉亚小姐插嘴道，“那天在教室里她对你说的话吗？关于如果你发现她是——你会怎么做。”
“不，我没有，”明钦小姐说。
