She says something that isn't
really right but isn't really wrong. I'm not taking in
their words
any more, just their voices, trying to get a feel for
whatever is going on between them. I'm imagining what it's like for them in this delicate situation, what I would say if it were me. She has that perfect upper-class accent, and she's
using whatever upper-class tact that comes
with it to navigate this. Style. They can't be together, but their voices are betraying them.
