Kitty's brows draw together. Perhaps excessively unladylike, she exclaims, "I don't give a damn who's a king here." Then, holding her hand out and gesturing as she talks, she says, "Everyone ought to prove themselves with their actions. Their actions now. I won't ever disagree with that. And anyone who leans on their title or their fame or whatever to prove they're worth anything is an idiot."

Then, settling her hand back down into her lap - "But the more we know of the course of history, the more we can understand what the patterns are. And here, in this place, we've got a chance to learn of two dozen different histories. I mean - if that can't show you the patterns of human behavior, then what can? But if we all hide 'em and keep our secrets - Then there won't be anything to grow from."
