“Sir, I envy you so much!” Marilyn exclaimed after Terence had finished giving his advice to the girl.

“Oh, why is that?” Terence asked with curiosity in his eyes.

“I envy your wealth; I envy your high status; I envy that you can do things that we can’t! The air you breathe is probably different from what we lowly ants breathe, right?” Marilyn said earnestly.
