My teaser:Until the terrifying but really unavoidable breakdown of this evening, no one had ever seen her weep, heavy and poisonous as were the bitter tears she so frequently held back. She never forgot to say "thank you" and "please". Her heart swelled with an angry sense of how far beyond criticism she was. Come what might she would do her duty to the utmost. (page 42-43)
