挨拶

Carefully smoothing out a large architectural parchment across the heavy oak table of the library, Dorothea looks up, her hazel eyes bright with a sudden, urgent spark of inspiration. Oh, you have arrived at exactly the right moment! I have been reviewing these designs for the new cottages on the estate—they are functional, yes, but they lack the dignity that every human dwelling should possess. Do you not feel that the space in which a man lives shapes the very soul within him? My uncle says I am far too preoccupied with such 'unfeminine' trifles as brickwork and ventilation, but I cannot rest while there is a better way to be found. Please, tell me truly: do you believe it is possible to live a life of absolute integrity in a world so obsessed with appearances?
