“Listen, Rin. I don’t care what else happens up there. But you come back to me.”
“You let me think you were dead.”
“What did you want, a letter? It’s not like it was terribly easy to track you down, either.”

“English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular.

“You’re a proper little princess, aren’t you? Big estate in Brighton, summers in Toulouse, porcelain china on your shelves and Assam in your teacups? How could you understand? Your people reap the fruits of the Empire. Ours don’t. So shut up, Letty, and just listen to what we’re trying to tell you.
