If our porter had pulled us into Europe instead, the situation would be different. We're in a different world. I'm surprised they even adhere to the same drinking laws. [The fact that they do is one of those interesting interdimensional things. All the same, Kate has been drinking since she was sixteen, in part because of her father's parties. Her palette for wine is pretty distinguished for a twenty-one-year-old girl, and she thinks that says a lot about her.

Either way, she really doesn't care about underage drinking.]

Go ahead and try it. It's amazing.
