Ursula was so wrapped up in her own drama that she didn't even notice her mother-in-law approaching, nor did she notice her strange retreat.
She flushed with anger at the very notion that she'd overindulged herself into a state of corpulence. "Of course not! You know I really have had quite enough of your disrespect; I am your brother's wife, not one of your elves, I will not be spoken to in such a manner." Her words were cutting and cold rather than the usual angry fluster Ella might see from her. A nerve had been touched and she was in absolutely no mood to be teased today. "Perhaps it is time you considered a pair of spectacles, it's hardly unusual for a woman of your age to need such things." There, that made her feel a little better. What she really wanted to do now was leave but she hadn't reached the point of storming off in public just yet.
