Princess, we all do that, and some some of us were raised by the finest nannies New England had to offer. We're made of soft stuff, sometimes you need a wall. It's who you let behind it with you that counts.

I had the wall when I needed it, and I guess I kept it up longer than that, too. Being here is like just trying to get by all over again.

You were raised by nannies?

I'm a WASP. Old family, in the sense that dating back to the Mayflower's something we'd consider a flash in the pan. There was a Prior Walter stitched into the Bayeux Tapestry, I'm told.

We don't raise our own young.

I can't imagine being raised by the nanny was all that great for you.

Yet most likely better than the alternative. Are we trading stories of woe now? I can't one-up a homeless child.

I don't know, I probably would've run from the nanny, too. Homeless teen, I was about fifteen at the time.

Every time I ran as a kid, someone found me.
