It was another glimpse I had of something more interesting going on, that apparently it was up to the clone when s/he started training as a carer. Not only were The Cottages a transition where the clones learned to function in the real world, more iniquitously it seemed to serve as a goad for the clones to move on. Apparently they eventually got sufficiently bored with marking time to request the next step.
