"Jane Sampson, do you know, these past few days, I've been thinking, if when I returned to the Sampton Family back then, I hadn't been so filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, hadn't been so jealous of how excellent you were, if, returning to the Sampton Family, I could have gotten along well with you, treated you either as a hard-to-come-by sister or a younger sister, then how would things be now for you, and for now?"
Julie Sampson's voice choked a bit at this point, "You should have been happier, right? And I, I should have been happier too. If that were the case, my life wouldn't have been full of calculation and confrontation at every turn, perhaps, I could have lived a bit more easily too."
