She was commenting and emphasising about how her mother-in-law (JM’s mother) used to be a “hajjata tal-alta socjeta” in Burmarrad.

This High Society notion must be her obsession.

I wonder whose reward that will turn out to be: in general, and in detail.

Can you imagine the expression on the faces of ‘the high society’ switchers and the ‘hejj kless’ turncoats when the conversation turns to rollers, gingerbread men and “soppa tal-armla”?

[Daphne – It won’t.]

Will they be having “tombla” too?

There are thousands of sites to help them with the correct form.

[Daphne – They don’t need to do that. The foreign ministry used to have, and probably still does, people whose purpose is to advise on these things. If they have all since retired, they can bring one back as a consultant. It would be possibly the only consultancy fee that is justified and well spent. Or they can ask me – I’d be happy to help pro bono. Anything to avoid this sort of hideous display. No, actually I wouldn’t be happy to help. The raw material is awful. It’s way too late.]

Bon ton – you had me in fits of laughter – indeed Mrs. Michelle Muscat de Burmarrard – may I add – Countess of Castile.
