Chapter 42
"The enchantments were not intended to be an expedient way of deciding who will marry who. In school, we learned the nature and some of the history of each enchantment, but nothing about their purpose. We have assumed that they have always been an integral part of our culture. They are just there. That is why my parents were so upset when I failed to be given an enchantment. But there must be more to it than that. The person who enchanted Jordon stated that they were no longer playing by the rules. Rules mean some agreement about purpose, and an agreement that it is to everyone's advantage to obey the rules."
