"I don't want you to get used to that. I wish I didn't have to get used to it, but it's not easy to say that when there's discrimination."

 He doesn't seem to have a good impression of the ...... poor village. He has such feelings no matter how kind he looks. He is an aristocrat, so it's not surprising that he has such feelings. Even though I recognize Jill's smartness, I can't help but feel that discrimination still remains somewhere in my heart.

 If Mr. Paul were to tell anyone about this secret, we would be in big trouble. We have to do something. .......

 That's the kind of reaction you'd get if someone said they were going to kill you after seeing you for the first time in a few years.

 The more people I get involved with, the more trouble I get into. It's because of our interactions with people that we develop feelings of superiority and inferiority, and ...... relationships are really complicated.
