Sharp

Just time for a quick cup of tea and a chat with Lady F's eldest before an evening of tennis and bar duty.

She's endlessly patient with me, has listened to the same tales over and over again yet still puts up with it all, smiling away. Like her jewelry tools here, she is sharp, and talks a lot of sense.

Which cannot be said for the codgers I later went on to serve at the bar whom, I suspect, haven't felt the need to talk sense for years.
