"'But if I tried to explain it to you now, I don't think you'd understand. One day, I hope, it'll be explained to you.'"
-page 40
This quote is being said by Miss Lucy, one of the guardians, who is well liked and trusted by the students. She often says weird things about the students not knowing something, or not being told enough. She said this quote in response to Polly asking her why Madame takes some of their creations. Miss Lucy wasn't going to tell them why, but she was foreshadowing that they will find out eventually and that it's important. She uses hints and clues to suggest what will happen later. The more I read the more I realize that something is definitely different about this school and maybe even these kids. Kathy and her friends are starting to recognize that there are several things that happen that they don't understand, but for some reason they don't try to find out answers. It is like there are unwritten/unsaid rules that some topics should just not be discussed by the students, so they feel uncomfortable trying to figure out unknown questions about the school.
