She is still famous for asking “Have we gone on like this long enough?” whenever the conversation started to be boring to her. Oftentimes, it was just the right question to cause the dialogue to go off in a more interesting direction. But, it didn’t work the night she asked it of the father of her soon-to-be groom. In fact, things went so badly from there that the cathedral wedding was never conducted. Luckily for her, eloping was just a grand idea, and they lived happily – albeit without his family – for a good long while. Now she remembers those good days while hoping that she lives long enough to meet an alien from another planet. After all, whenever she needed to change the topic of conversation, she could always count on wishing for aliens to create lively repartee.
