Dear Margaret,
I applaud you on your patience with those miserable, demanding old ladies. I would have lost it when Mrs. Cullinan's friend suggested changing my name because she's too lazy to pronounce an extra syllable. I myself have never responded well to authority or being told what to do. I just don't like the idea of letting someone tell me what to do, and how to run my life.
I don't take kindly to authority either, especially cops. I once had a police officer search my bag, and when he was done allowed me to put all my things back in it so I assumed I was allowed to take it. I apparently assumed wrong. I was grabbed by my arm and neck and slammed face down on the police car. I was fifteen at time, and no more than a hundred pounds soaking wet. I thought it was extremely excessive considering the circumstances, don't you? Ever since then, they put a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't think there's anyone that likes being told what to do, or knowing someone has more authority than you do. What you had experienced what rude, and just blatantly disrespectful. You're actions are totally justifiable in my eyes.
