Then she said:
“I thought if you worked beside the other women, you would stop acting like an inspector.”
Rosalie answered:
“I was your family and an inspector.”

“You made me feel like pregnancy was laziness.”
Beatrice admitted:
“My mother did the same to me.”
Rosalie:
“That was your chance to know better.”
