"I'm not sure that's true. I...wish there had been someone to teach me some of the things Julien is good at." Or rather, that Charlotte had allowed it; Zoe had entered the Spades and immediately felt at a disadvantage. She'd applied herself so completely to training with Victor, in part, because she needed to gain that confidence.

And in part because she hadn't wanted to disappoint him, which is probably something Eileen keenly understands.

"But I suppose that she might wish that the things Julien teaches you aren't really things you need to know." And also that Eileen might pick up lessons she shouldn't know - lessons in cruelty. Lessons in coldness.
