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.
