I believed in them. And they loved me, in their way. I had pretty dresses and dolls and all the things little girls are supposed to, they hugged me, they treated me well, fed me, used Cosette's money to pamper me. And yet there was so much cruelty there I didn't see, so much I just ignored.
But I also know that what you say is true. You and your husband have been very kind to me. Uncommonly so.
