It occurs to me that Marietta's being branded visibly with the word SNEAK across
her forehead may be not that different than what happens in the real world.
Someone who did something like what Marietta did in the real world, if she lived
in (say) a small town, might as well have the word branded on her forehead; just
because the label is not visible, doesn't mean it is not real.
