Her clients drive cars
Far, far larger than ours
And we don’t want folk thinking we’re poor.

Such objective measures are much more reliable and indicative than a mere moralistic objection to the young relation’s profession. It is never appropriate to sit in judgment over a woman’s right to choose.
