About This Quote
Apparently father has a very broad-minded and tolerant attitude towards his daughter’s appearance. Regardless of the fact that she is only twelve years old and has never been allowed to wear make-up or participate in any boy’s activities, her father is willing to let her wear an earring. The reason for this is probably because Bill is a very broad-minded and tolerant person, and he also thinks that it will protect Saffron from getting into trouble at school.
