Her speech was a little curious; it wasn't what he was used to hearing from his own generation, and even further from what he'd heard people close to her age using. Admittedly, much of his contact in the past few years had been with soldiers who weren't exactly polite at the best of times, but it was more than that. He'd been through Hertfordshire and it was close enough to London and to his own home county of Hampshire that he was fairly sure it wasn't just a regional tendency.
