Many have fallen, but not those from the purest and strongest lines. I do not think that a little difficulty and hardship will cause us to give up on our culture or our traditions.
You're quite welcome! It is very pleasing to know that the later generations of my family keep to our ideals. I shall help with your employment if I can. Of course you mustn't work for them. Did you undertake any business beyond the managing of your estate, in better times? I don't wish to suggest anything terribly unsuitable.
Thank you - but you mustn't be too insistent, I must say. It does have to be his decision, in the end, if for no other reason than so that he doesn't feel resentful and sulk over it. Being here seems difficult enough for him.
