As soon  as her niece was standing in the right place, Paulette began talking to her. "Ellie, dear, I think I'm right in saying that both my sister and myself share at least one value in common. It is a value that is highly prized in modern society. I'm sure you will be able top work out what it is, but to save time I will tell you. It is trust.<br/><br/>"Just to let you realise exactly how important trust is to modern society, I will give you some very specific examples. What do you suppose would happen if, when driving a car, you were unable to trust that most of the other drivers would obey the same rules of the road as yourself? Or how about going into hospital. You trust the doctors to do their jobs correctly. When either of those trusts are broken, well, we see the results on the news!<br/><br/>"Now, an even bigger trust..." She pulled out a dollar bill. "This is founded on trust. When<em>that</em>trust is broken, we end up with inflation, a destabilized currency, recession, economic collapse. So, do you see how important trust is?"<br/><br/>Shje waited, then, for the girl to process the lecture, and work out where she was going with it.
