I felt very privileged at her 80th birthday celebration, when Eunice put her hand on my arm, and allowed me to escort her to her table.

It had been about 30 years since I had last seen her, and I felt quite embarrassed to have been chosen above her own kin.

Eunice always had a fearful knack of sussing people out- She did not tolerate fools gladly.  She would look you straight in the heart and decide immediately if you were good enough.

Although, on hindsight, she was after all 80 years old at the time, and probably thought :Who on earth was that?
