Now that I have made myself clear, allow me to move onto your foolish statements and refute them with perfection.

First of all, my riding crop, as your sorry memory seems to have failed you drastically in this, was given to me and approved by none other than Papa himself. In fact, he was the first to put it in my hand when I saddled the horse, and was the first to applaud me when I used it against an ignorant fool. I have Papa's full approval, and even you should know that his approval overrides your insignificant opinions.
