Deliquent Child Of The Past

"Oh you, Nina!...You and your barbaric ways that are unfitting of a maiden!" 

Mrs Keller came forward and swiped away the broom away from my hand like a responsible adult would, which made all the ladies behind let out a sigh of relief since they too didn't want to see the young boy they favoured go around beating up a bunch of men. She then continued saying, as she handed the broom to another lady for safekeeping, 

"No matter how brash you were ever since you were a child, who didn't hesitate to fight with any of the boys who picked on your friends and would always jump in fists, flying at the sign of any trouble. How could you suggest to a boy who's still in school to go and beat a bunch of people up like you're training him to become a hooligan?"
