Of course, darling, but I thought I'd just make sure. Do let's avoid any of the time-wasting nonsense we usually resort to; I have a feeling it will be a particularly trying day without that as well.
Come on, Anne. You know my trying nature is exactly what you like about me. Or at least, why you tolerate me -- we won't venture into sentimentality. Let me entertain you tomorrow, before you face whatever hell you're bound for.
You know I never do a repeat performance, Anne. I was thinking something more along the lines of Duck Soup, or maybe we could try our hand at origami?

Although I enjoy your company immensely, Anne, I can always cancel. Consider my absence a small blessing.

Don't be absurd. You're not wriggling out of a session simply because one of my others is proving especially difficult. I'm not so fragile as that.

But you know I can't not be difficult. It would be against my very nature.

Then we shall have a refreshingly difficult session of an entirely different nature, chou.

Tolerate, perhaps, would be an adequate word for it. I suppose I'll see you at noon then with an arsenal of tricks up your sleeve.
