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.
