"Then I will teach Lord Marie what a bow is!"
Agnes stood from her seat and declared it. The talk changed with no warning at all.
"Nn? Is something wrong? Lord Marie, is this all right?"
Agnes looked puzzled at how thin my reaction was. This person was a classic wonder-girl. In my last life the sales assistant girl in the next seat had been the same. She would be talking about something and then change the subject all at once. In her own head she had already been thinking about the new talk during the old one, so the switch felt natural to her, and everyone around jumped. She also dropped subjects and verbs and said one word, and no one knew how to react. Then she herself could not understand why no one moved. That girl was young and cute, so people laughed and let it go. If it were a fairly old auntie with a harsh way of talking, it would be rough.
