“You can turn your hand to anything, you clever girl, so do come and give me some advice, for I am in the depths of despair," said Fanny, when the "maid-of-all-work," as Polly called herself, found a leisure hour. "What is it? Moths in the furs, a smokey chimney, or small-pox next door?" asked Polly as they entered Fan's room, where Maud was trying on old bonnets before the looking glass.

“Everything we are, nothing is really ever given to us. We work for it. We face our fears, we walk against the wind, we lose everything, again and again, sometimes denied or betrayed by the people that matter to us most. We build and have it all taken away, just to build it anew, from scratch. Nothing of this world is every really gifted to us, but if we hold on to the only gift that truly matters, the will to live our life according to our soul's calling, the Faith that there's something more to this life, we find meaning in us being here. We try to adjust, to fit in, to please, but it always leads us back to ourselves, back to what is True for us. We are who we are, we love what we love, and that is the greatest gift we have. The greatest gift we have to give.”
