So, she obviously went for her most precious possession. Besides, she's still a kid.

In reality people were still being treated like dirt in the 19th century, so I'm happy this show necessarily isn't all that realistic and Yune gets pretty friendly and gentle treatment, making this a joy to watch.
Indeed, the fact that Yune was pleased when Claude said he'd get it back confused me, and seemed to go against my thoughts.

I just can't see why Yune would compensate for monetary reasons though.. It wasn't like he broke something that he couldn't fix, and the client certainly didn't charge anything for it. Unless the coal, time and manual labour involved was worth as much as 500 franc.
