[That...does actually sound so simple, and yet so brilliant? She may have a newfound respect for you and your abilities, Hilda. That champagne glass will be happily relinquished; at this point she could definitely use a refill. Thank goodness for the fellow with the tight-fitting coat...]

[That casual...flirtiness, if she might. Hm.]

You make it look so easy, Hilda. When I try it I simply feel silly.
