"Não salte. Não corra. Mantenha um ar de grande senhora. Não fale alto demais. Não despenteie seu cabelo. Não suje a barra de seu vestido. Não desperdice seu tempo lendo livros sobre questões que os homens devem estudar. Não fale sobre política. Não. Não. Não." 
  Passar a vida aprendendo sobre como se portar à frente da sociedade nunca foi o plano que Tessa Dankworth planejou para si. Infelizmente fora ensinada, assim como todas, desde pequena a se respeitar e consentir com o que lhe era dito sem contestar. Sendo filha de um importante conde burguês inglês sua educação, assim como de suas irmãs, havia sido à base do que não se deve fazer. Educada para ser uma lady, Tessa sempre contestara em segredo seu papel na sociedade. Inteligente e sagaz o não era justamente a palavra que ela mais detestava ouvir quando criança. Por que diabos ela não podia cavalgar de pernas abertas? Cavalgar sentada de lado não era confortável. Por que não podia usar calças como seus irmãos? Elas facilitavam tanto a corrida. Por que não podia brincar também? Aprender sobre as regras do chá e sobre como ser graciosa não era divertido. E por que, mas por que, eles a tratavam como se ela não fosse capaz de entender absolutamente nada do que lhes era dito? Essas perguntas não foram respondidas até que Tessa debutasse pela primeira vez em um baile real formal. No entanto, novas surgiram afetando para sempre sua concepção da realidade em que vivia.
