They say we meet at night, and break up in the morning, that men are mingling with women. These doubts are all because there have been no explanations." The reason for the misconceptions was that "People haven't studied our books."

Mother said that we should offer him all the things we were not going to take away, letting him choose for himself. (Yangs)
Anything we didn't need to take with us, Mother said, we should give him; he could take whatever he wanted. (Lovell)
