Anastasia nodded her head, "I used to try and read when I could with Mama... Books are rather expensive though... But I'm thankful for it, not many people even know how to read... I think it would been far more embarrassing if I didn't know how to read yesterday... With Gerald being so adimant that I do."

She began to flick through one of the books, "I'm not used to reading this kind of... literature, though. It uses larger words and sometimes seems to talk itself in circles," she shook her head, "The books we read were simple and made up. I'm not used to instructions and information like there is in these ones... It's strange," she said with a laugh. She looked up at Samsul and smiled, "What's your favourite book? Mama told me I used to make her read secret garden over and over again."
