[Kesara watches the message twice. It isn't as many times as she's reviewed other information, the sort she could hardly believe, but after the second time she's still blinking, sitting down to roll it around in her mind. This is the first time she has seen a woman of her own colour in Norfinbury. And that coloured woman is a nurse.
Not a governness. She understands the difference now. A nurse like the Chinese woman, Jia Xu. A medical professional. So it really is true. In the future even women who are not European can be something like that. She's full of wary, buzzing, jealous curiosity as she sits down to respond. Who is this Miss Claire? Or is it Doctor Claire? Where was she born, who were her parents? Where did she go to school? How?
But she restrains herself at first, only opens with a smile that fails to cover her hungry fascination.]
Hullo, Miss Claire - I mean - excuse me, is it Doctor Claire? They say in the future, being a nurse is very different from my time...
