"You take that back!" Felicity says through her teeth.
"I won't!" Pippa is crying. "You know it's true. Your mother is a courtesan and a consort. She left your father for an artist. She ran away to France to be with him."
"It isn't true!"
"It is! She ran away and left you behind." (16.53-56)
When situations are painful and confusing, sometimes it is easier to lie to ourselves than to face the truth.
