"No! No! No! Not like that at all!" Blanche Deveraux exclaimed, her perfect, ruby lips tisking at the young child before her.

Blanche held up a hand. "Stop right there, Anna Marie! A true Southern belle does not allow buttah ta melt in her mouth! Now repeat aftah me. Ah."

"I."

"No. Ah."

"I."

Blanche shook her head and slowly drew out the word. "Aaahhh."

"Ah," Anna Marie said, opening her mouth as though she was showing her tongue to a doctor.

"No," Blanche corrected again. "Softah, shugah, like a mere breath o' air." Again she emphasized each distinct character. "Aaaaaaahhhhhhh."

"Aaahhh."

"Now shorter. Ah."

"Ah?"

"There!" Blanche beamed her approval upon her niece. "Ya have it!"

Anna Marie smiled as she secretly thought that she hoped "it" wasn't catching and that not all the lessons of how to be a real lady like her Aunt Blanche would be so confusing.
