Apparently she gave him a polite 20 minutes of her time, just enough for a cup of tea and a biscuit, and that was it. She's 92 and could have claimed to be under the weather, but that's not how she rolls.

However, she never would. Duty is her pole star; she'll do it as long as she's able.

Further, she's a lady and ladylike she let everyone know just what she thought of Moron and his traveling shit show.
