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.
