This chapter's epigraph is from a poem by Charles Dickens, "A Tale of Two Cities" . It's a poem about a young girl who is raped by her father's mistress. The girl's name is Rosalind, and she's the daughter of a famous lawyer. Rosalind's father is a powerful man, and her mother is the powerful woman in the story. Rosalind is the one who raped her father. She's also the woman who raped the young girl, and Rosalind is her mother. Rosalind tells her daughter to apologize to her father and to her mistress, but Rosalind refuses to listen to her mother's advice. Rosalind says that she hasn't hurt her father before, but she can't do the same to Rosalind now. Rosalind points out that if Rosalind wants to hurt someone, she doesn't have to apologize for it.
