"I couldn't leave. My Aunt Charlotte is willing to help me solve the problem with this cemetery spot, but for a certain favor." Valentine said — Would you like to have lunch with your aunt?

Valentine easily left his family ties behind. "My family is very wealthy. I imagine you've had the opportunity to find out. But I don't make use of their resources. I rent a room from a kindly old scholar; it's warm enough for me to sleep, and that's all I need. I have a business to which I've devoted myself, and which everyone in my family has hotly condemned. Except my grandmother, but by that point she existed only as a ghost, and so her opinion was of no importance to anyone—except me. It's fortunate that I didn't consider anyone's opinion either, right?"

"I even went on the expedition to escape the lofty expectations of a family that didn't align with my values ​​and ideals. Yes, I understand, given everything that had happened, my values ​​were questionable, but I perceived the bourgeois, middle-class outlook on life as something of a curse. Especially since the ghosts told me so many interesting things. I regularly went to Highgate and interacted with scientists, travelers, doctors, explorers, and writers! They all turned out to be far more interesting to me than my mother's friends and my father's whist partners." Valentine said to Dorian.
