When the first course came, it turned out to be spaghetti of a particularly long and rubbery kind. Rocky showed me how to twist it round my fork but I found it very difficult to manage and it made conversation quite impossible. Perhaps long spaghetti is the kind of thing that ought to be eaten quite alone with nobody to watch one´s struggle. Surely many a romance must have been nipped in the bud by sitting opposite someone eating spaghetti.
Mildred is such an socially akward and at times dorky person. She is adorable.
The other characters, though: Rockingham is an ass (albeit a charming one), Helena isn´t much better either and I think Everard might not be as bad a person as Mildred thinks. I like him the best out of these three, even though I still haven´t exactly figured out if there is a bigger conflict brewing between these three characters.
