"But their bond goes much deeper: the grandparents have devoted a genuine cult to their grandson since his birth, raising him to believe that he is the most handsome, intelligent, and strong. Nothing is ever good enough for him. His grandmother instills habits that he will keep for life: a taste for refined cuisine as well as chocolate, the need to go to bed early (which he will never abandon), and the sense of efficiency, of which she discreetly praises."
