A nun says to the headmistress: "Miss Burber would like a word with you, Sister." The headmistress answers: "Oh." Edda stands before them. Edda says: "Before I tell you why I came, you should know that the descending inflection you put on the word 'oh' had a negative impact on my self-esteem." The headmistress puts her face in her hands. Edda says: "Whispered prayers in Latin also have the same effect." The headmistress covers her face and looks away.
