[Is that true, Riley? Trish feels like, for all her impressive plumage, Riley looks more like a trembling house of cards, and if she were to simply huff hard enough, Riley would collapse under her own weight.

But she does make an acceptable point. Sort of. It's something that invites speculation that could land on two separate theories.

Although it's true that a school doesn't offer too much clout, not unless it was nationally recognized.]

So with enough bribery, the truth doesn't matter at all.

[Cool. She's back to staring at the ceiling instead of Riley, at least.]

You know the town I mentioned, the one where I grew up? The school was a sidenote. In fact, we have more five star hotels than we do schools, since our infrastructure is based entirely on tourism.

[Since Riley mentioned someone presumably rich pouring a large sum into establishing a school...

Well, Lacco Ameno is a celebrity destination thanks to a rich Italian producer, Trish recalls. It's like if the Giles Corey person contributed enough money to jumpstart an entire town. Although the reason for Lacco Ameno's investment is plain to see.]

Is your school prestigious, Riley?
