Otherwise, what's the point in a party?" Her height probably had something to do with that too. People weren't always able to adjust to her small stature quickly.
"Oh I quite agree quite agree," she nodded and then excused herself to address to other ladies.

"You are certainly most welcome," she cooed as if to a young child. "Callie. Such a lovely name. And yes, they are most certainly safe to eat. Tese are Dear Berty's favorites, in fact." She said "Dear Berty" with quite a bit of expressed adoration.

"And you are most welcome, too. Please feel free to drop in at any time for more."

The Minister has decreed that suspensions from the school are justified for outlandish behavior. PLease do not make me be the villain in this... event." She sighed. "And now... eat."
"Oh, bravo, bravo! A stirring rousing speech!" Melita cried excitedly as she she gave a standing ovation (even going to far as to stand on her cushioned chair).

" In other words, it was out of Lainey's hands.
"Oh I love Miss Belle. Or is that Mr. Cooper now?" she winked. "Oh goodness, she is just such a peach!" Melita gushed and probably nearly wet herself.

"I will dress you up in my favorite dress and pearls if you don't get away from me!" BAH! They'd been too close to her tuna sandwich and now she'd have to throw it away. BAH!
"Oh no, you poor poooooor dears! And threatening them with clothes! Where is your sense of decency?!?!" she gasped at Lainey's response to the poor house elves. "I can't imagine The Minister or his wonderful wife neglecting the kitchen pans. I will of course need to go down and inspect immediately!"
