When the flower girl notices the notetaker she says, “They’ll take away my character and drive me on the streets for speaking to
gentlemen.” Why can’t she speak to the gentleman? She spoke impolitely to him and that was not allowed in England.
He doesn’t speak English and she offended him.
Since she is a woman she cannot speak to men.
She is poor and should not be speaking to someone of a higher social standing.
Cyber bullying is worse because the people who are being rude can say anything they want to you just because you cant see them or know who they are (Hope this helps :D)
