I was always bothered by the fact that the first person singular pronoun is capitalized in english - i always thought it was quite self-righteous.

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.
—Proverbs 16:31
Naturally as someone who went gray prematurely, I'm in total agreement with this! 😁

"what is the beginning of Civilization?" and "Y?"
This is the question, the answer is ... because I know that if I am then so are you--understanding what it is the change wrought by my life and us all watching it.
Understanding how law and order have become a thing of archaic mideival horror stories in the world we see, and that's pretty much all that was possible in reality.
In Heaven, in our "rael world" that's not true, and the line ... the minimum we can allow--

thanks to my early training
Miss Clack frustrates me already. On one hand, she seems to be aware of how prideful she is (“Christian humility conquered sinful pride”), but at the same time, she also seems prideful about being self-aware of her pride - “thanks to my early training” seems self-congratulatory and even “Christian humility” has an air of self-righteousness, as if she wants to remind herself/us that she’s superior because of her humility.

as all serious people know
Miss Clack seems to include a lot of these little (almost breaking the fourth wall type) commentaries…ultimately, they annoy me, but I think they’re probably important to show how she feels she must constantly justify herself and confirm her good intentions/character. Other examples include “in a tone of Christian interest” or this one “as all serious people know”, which I guess aren’t particularly intentionally objective, which is why they come across as her needing to prove herself in some way.
