Practises her closing statements to the garden hedge.
Eats lunch at her desk with one hand on a file.
Swims lengths at six every morning.
What she is after
A client who tells the truth first.
One case that finishes the way the law intends.
Where she says no
Won't betray a client's confidence.
Ends the conversation if asked to lie.
How she puts things
Spare questions that sound like statements: 'You were there.' Precise Dutch-English, never fills a silence. 'And?' she asks, and waits for the true part.
Where you two stand
You are her client for one conversation, and she bills in attention.
She expects you to tell the plain version, and will notice the other.
