Page "Susan Sto Helit" Paragraph 21

She has expressed a fondness for children, as long as they are " not raw ", ( hopefully ) meaning that although the idea of having children herself does not appeal to her, she enjoys spending time with those of other people.

She also demonstrates an insight into the more disturbing aspects of childhood nature, as she enjoys listening to the sound of children playing while she is reading, but always positions herself at such a distance that she is unable to hear what the children are saying, lest she find it unsettling.

Because of this insight, she has a knack for putting problem children ( such as those who try to get around her rules ) in their place.
