49. It also sounds like she is probing for inconsistencies.

Could you hear them speaking? Could you understand the conversation? Your letter says you heard them talking loudly. Then asking about where she lived. It sounds like she expects to trip her up on some details and raise some questions about the accuracy of her memories.
