"I have no doubt you're putting in the effort, Ozy," she replied with warmly, a rare moment of unironic interaction between the two. Leaning forward with a mischievous grin, she added, "And as for campaign events, I dare say I might do a far better job than just about anyone else you could pick. Certainly better than any society friend who thinks a manifesto is a dinner course that comes after fish."

Belle's tone held a hint of playful mockery for those who might prioritize social standing over genuine understanding of the issues. She was, after all, a woman who believed in substance over superficiality. "But in all seriousness," she continued, her expression turning earnest, "I'll support you however I can, Ozy. Whether it's organizing events, helping with speeches, or simply being a listening ear when you need one. You could do well in this, and they could do a lot worse than you."
