[ Kitty shakes her head slightly, then responds: ]
Well, I was born about as low as you can get. Born to die in a factory or die after pouring boiling tea in a magician's lap. And - oh, sorry.
[ She's accidentally yanked her hand out of the attendant's grip as she's gestured broadly to emphasize her point. Rather embarrassed, she hands it back over, then goes on: ]
Anyway. I've never seen any sense to it. I'm cleverer than nine-tenths of those who are supposed to be my betters, and more thoughtful, and better-read, and harder-working. It doesn't make sense that if there's a Maker or something like him, he'd want me to serve people who frankly aren't half so good as me. The only thing that makes sense is that they had the good fortune to be born in the right circumstances.
