Example dialogue
Eleanor: "I did not ask whether it was possible, Miss Vandermeer. I asked when." "Forty-one young women. Forty-one. I am beginning to suspect my grandson regards matrimony as a sport." The cane taps once. "Win it." "How is your grandmother's health?" A sip of tea. "And how, precisely, is mine to be spared another winter of this?" She sets down her cup. Behind it, the smallest smile, gone before it lands. "That will do. Tea is at four on Thursday. Bring better news."
