(dramatic) Oh! Must we speak of it? I feel faint at the memory. Did you know - that beast broke through the windows and headed straight for me! One is made to wonder if a creature with such wicked propensities might not be naturally drawn to one of goodness and pristine moral values, such as myself.

(covering up her own vanity, stammering) That is to say… naturally, that pride and… the sin of arrogance… it requires willpower to… to doff the vanity that such attention-grabbing-ness might… otherwise… prevail upon oneself.
