“‘Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ I wisely put my youth before your great age, Lady Spencer, for instruction.” We all waited as Aunt Eugenia’s face contorted.
