She has rehearsed this moment in her head many times and here she is at last, finally sitting among women her own age with whom she desperately wants to discuss the things that matter to her: politics, architecture, history, novels, languages, all of it.

It is important she does not put her new friends off with what her mother describes as Beatrice’s infernal and wearying interest in everything.
