“I bake things!" she exploded, jumping to her feet from the driver's bench. "And I sell them, and I make new recipes. And all right, maybe they're not the prettiest pastries in the kingdom, but people like them anyway! And I don't give a rat's ass whether or not that's worthy enough a purpose for the likes of you. I am more than just what I do; I am a person, and I am alive, and that is purpose enough. And for freedom, look at me on this wagon, weeks away from home--I'm seeing the world and meeting new people, aren't I, and it's because I chose to leave, fortune or no fortune.”
