Lines

"I shake my head at my friend.  'Not only is they lines, but you know good as I do where them lines be drawn.'

Aibileen shakes her head.  'I used to believe in em.  I don't anymore.  They in our heads.  People like Miss Hilly is always trying to make us believe they there.  But they ain't.'...

Aibileen laughs.  She pats my hand. 'All I'm saying is, kindness don't have no boundaries.'"  Kathryn Stockett, The Help, p. 312
