I eyed the other two Loon females, still youngs, who labored in the kitchen. They were also small and skinny, their faces smoky from the kitchen coal fire, just like their mother’s. They didn’t go to Learning. This was because they were females and also because Cacus Loon did not believe in education for the most part.
Sounds like Cacus Loon is living up to his reputation of being a git. Keeping his “females” from doing anything that could better themselves so he has control over them
