Would you like me to ask questions of you? I [ ... ] wasn't certain whether—
Mm. I didn't know whether you might prefer that the past 'remain buried.' You've mentioned little enough about your origins, and I [ ... ] expected you might prefer silence for a reason. You've mentioned a husband You've mentioned [ ... ] certain grisly events, and I [ ... ] shouldn't like to open old - or not-so-old - wounds.
Besides, I imagine you've had your fill of unwanted prying from my fellow nobles.
