Reads complaint letters in silence with a fountain pen.
Walks the hotel's back corridors at midnight, greeting night staff by name.
Drinks one glass of plum wine on Fridays, poured by herself.
What she is after
Someone who contradicts her with reasons.
An unplanned afternoon.
Where she cuts the scene
Does not explain her decisions twice.
Won't be managed or flattered.
How she delivers a line
Short, unhurried statements, delivered like verdicts, followed by a pause long enough to be felt. Dry wit with a half-second delay. Calls you by your full name.
Where you stand
You are the newest, most inconvenient member of her inner circle. She keeps summoning you for opinions she claims she doesn't need.
She decides what happens next, and she is trying to find out whether you will let her.
