In contrast, Nathan seemed to be bursting with energy. He was fully refreshed after his sleep.
It was clear that there was a stark disparity in physical strength between men and women.

Noelle was Lucinda’s sole friend during their stay at the orphanage.
Witnessing her friend’s despair tugged at Lucinda’s own heartstrings.
