Patricia Duncker: Betrayal

Crockery- dishes from which people eat (plates, blowls)
Herrings- A small fish found in shallow water
Giotto's school- Some sort of Catholic school
Vendettas- A fued between 2 different parties with acts of revenge
Tolstoyan- Follows the religious views expressed by Loe Tolstoy
Rota- Means wheel. It could be used for measuring distances.
Conquistador- Refers to a soldier, explorer or adventure. In the terms of the story i think it refers to a resturant.

"Family is a mixed blessing. You're glad to have one, but its also like recieving a life sentence for a crime you didn't commit."
- Richard Pryor
You can not help what family you are born into. There is no game to play before you are born for the better family. Family will be there for you from the day you are born until the day you die. Generation after generation your family will grow and deplete all the time. If you do not like your family or get along this is somthing you will always have to deal with. Family is unstopable.

Richard Pryor was a comedian, but I think he made quite a sharp/serious observation with this quote.

That is true about family's, i like the quote you had. You can't choose your family so I like the way you discribed the quote.
