"I have, I think, I have never been anything besotted in all my life. He said he would need the services of a diplomat's clerk to draft a suitable reply to all my. All my." A gesture.
"To my foolishness."
(Of course it was like that, of course all that eloquence and grace deserts her when she tries to be honest and it becomes some stilted, formal thing - she is genuine, but she isn't honest. Speaking plainly of her heart is an unlearned habit, this diplomatic dissembler, a muscle that has atrophied from lack of use and screams painful protest at attempts to use it.)
