When Anthony and Shiro first meet (in chapter 4 page 35); she is eight years old. He is sixteen.

Anthony says: ‘I will have you know, Miss Rasiah, that we British are the only reason that your father has a job and you have bread and butter on the table.’

To which Shiro responds: ‘And you should know that we never eat bread and butter. Maybe if you said rice and curry or stringhoppers and hodhi. But you have no idea what those are, do you, sir?’
