It's the mistresses job to screech and rage, Lakshmi, it is yours to accept, and always to provide a home to return to of peace and respect.
But it's much too late for that. This seething mess she'd worked herself into and let all the words out of her mouth before she could stop herself. Because there is a dawning realisation, that she has made a mistake, somewhere in all this. That something had been terribly misunderstood and she is being a fool.
"Kisses are not declarations of love - when the one you give them too runs off to the lands of another but a week later. As I am sure you well know." An awful thing to say, an awful thing to bring up. "What else do I have but duty here? Especially when I was humiliated in front of all of our people. Ask me anything else, but do not take my pride from me."
