Gitte (gittetofte) It's interesting to follow Kitty's development! She's definitely not like Undine from The Custom of the Country any more. I'm curious to see where the story will go.

Regina (reginar) I really like Kitty now. It is interesting how the nuns also focus on her "beauty". As if Kitty's beauty was something internal and part of her personhood.

I also like, while it is disturbing at first to read, how Kitty overcomes her prejudices toward the Chinese orphans.
