[[quoteblock]]His future was plain to me now. And my future was plain too. I was Hetty Feather, a foundling, imprisoned in the hospital. When I was fourteen, I'd leave to be a servant. That was all I had to look forward to. I would be a drudge for the rest of my days. [[/quoteblock]]

*DespairEventHorizon: Hetty goes through this in the hospital. After Polly was taken away as a [[ReplacementGoldfish replacement goldfish]] Hetty fell into a depression, ripping up a letter polly sent her and going through the routine of the hospital with no emotion. Her last hope spot that she would be able to accomplish something after the hospital fell away when by chance she met one of her younger foster sisters who told Hetty that Jem had promised to marry her when she left. Hetty was initally angry, but then realised Jem was only trying to make them happy, but he would get married to a village girl and live out his life while she went into service. Hetty then lost all hope for the future. She was ten, by the way.

She even notes that she's not sure how to react to them because she's used to people who love or hate her, and although they're always ticking her off, they are genuinely fond of her, too.
