How old are you turning?

[miss_waldorf]

Nineteen now.

[nobodyneedknow]

Nineteen.

Then we are of age.

[miss_waldorf]

You seem much more mature than I am.

[nobodyneedknow]

Do I? Perhaps it is because I am the head of my own house.

[miss_waldorf]

You must have seen more than I have, Mr. Gray.

[nobodyneedknow]

Perhaps I have, Miss Waldorf. I suspect that's the case for most women of your age and station, however.

[miss_waldorf]

I tried to be otherwise, but there are always more pressing things, aren't there?

[nobodyneedknow]

Such as?

[miss_waldorf]

Well, school --education. Then there are friends, family, men. Things always come up.

[nobodyneedknow]

I see.

[miss_waldorf]

You don't know about such hindrances, do you?

[nobodyneedknow]

There is a difference, Blair, between knowing about them and allowing them to interfere with you.

I am educated. I have friends, and family - in a manner - and I have duties, to an extent.

But that does not mean I am sheltered. Do you see?

[miss_waldorf]

Having some things usually means you can't have other things. That's the way it is with friends too, there are certain expectations.

I don't think it makes me sheltered, but it stops me from... you know.

[nobodyneedknow]

I will see if I can teach you.

[miss_waldorf]

Would you really?
