About This Quote

Torque was the greatest thing in the world, as far as Lina was concerned. As a young girl, Lina lived in a small house with her mother who worked as a seamstress. This meant Lina had to help her mother with all sorts of heavy work, including ironing. The ironing was hard work for someone who was still growing up and not very strong, but she always found that ironing made her feel better.

The process of ironing seemed to give her the power to do things that other girls could not do. She could stand on tiptoe and reach high places that were out of her reach before other girls were even born. Lina always imagined that she had an internal power source called torque because she felt so much strength when she stood on tiptoe to reach things.
