I have been walking the aisle of the local supermarket for ten minutes now, trying and failing to find what my mother called 'the only decent espresso here'. I hear her sigh on the other side of the line. "No, no, it has to be there," she says in a dramatic voice, "show me the shelf."It's my turn to sigh.

Highly regarded by her peers, the lady was well-known as generous and loving, having hosted countless charity balls in the past few years to fund projects all across the country. Despite being low-titled, she was known by every royal, peasant, and merchant. She was a high-quality woman.
