" Dolly was a survivor; Vivien said so, and Vivien ought to know- just look at the way she'd recovered from her own early hardships to create a new life for herself. And if Vivien could do it, so would Dolly. She'd suffered so much, but she still had things to live for- she'd find things to live for. This was the time to be brave, to be better than she'd ever been before. Dolly had done things that made her ashamed to remember them; her grand ideas had been nothing but a young girl's silly dreams, they'd all turned to ash in her fingers; but everybody deserved a second chance, everybody was worthy of forgiveness, even her- Vivien said so.
