[With a brief flash of a little girl's fond remembrance,]
I used to do ballet. So yes, James. I do like to dance. That was two questions.
[She could ask another throwaway question, but she doesn't want to. Instead,]
What did you think of the war?
[It's said with nothing more telling than the faint curiosity of someone born long after the echo of the last shots died away, the last shells left their mark on open countryside or city streets. Anna isn't a woman to romanticize the war, hardly that. She isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, and doesn't shy away from dark histories.]
