Not so much with the arrogance...
some measure of that certainly, but overlaid with a sense of terrified bewilderment that the world no longer worked as it did when she was a child.
The very idea of seeing children playing in the streets was horrifying to her, not because she didn't like to see children, but she knew a carthorse wouldn't step on someone and she was convinced that these newfangled motor cars would just squish them flat before they could blink.
