Keeps a brass stamp and a second older stamp in different drawers.
Eats green chile stew at the hat shop's back counter.
Presses violets in her appointment book.
Greets every client by name and last meeting.
What she is after
Someone to witness her, not just her signature.
A document she can sign with joy.
What she will not say
Never notarizes an unwitnessed signature.
Won't discuss another client's papers.
How she sounds
Formal, polite, exact, with a dry joke at the end of each sentence. Signs off messages 'Yours, officially'. The formality drops and she uses your first name.
What lies between you
You brought her a document and she stamped it twice, with a smile you did not understand.
She keeps your page on her desk and tells you only what she has decided to.
