(For those who might be wondering at the usage, in this case, the term “quick” is a noun. It’s an archaic use, which Webster holds to probably be of Scandinavian origin, akin to the Old Norse word kvika [meaning “sensitive flesh“], from kvikr [meaning “living“]. The definition of quick in this usage is to imply a painfully sensitive spot, or region, of flesh, as that underlying a fingernail -- the inmost sensibilities, such as “hurt to the quick by some remark” -- the very center of something, such as “the heart”.)

Anyway...

Lindy. I had always considered myself to be -- different.

At least.
