Emily Collins' face deepened with laughter lines, "Hasn't even been a day, didn't we still eat together at noon?"
Jocelyn laughed, "I'm not telling a lie, Granny, one day apart feels like years to me. Half a day is already like half a year to me, saying it's just a day is already being polite."
Emily Collins couldn't help but poke Jocelyn's forehead, "You child, such a glib tongue!"
Jocelyn leaned back in feigned hurt, crying out 'ouch,' "Granny, now that you have Amelia, do you not want me anymore?"
Emily Collins was amused by her candid and lively manner, and Old Madame Sheldon and Madam Moreland laughed along. Old Madame Sheldon said, "This god-granddaughter of mine seems even closer than my own granddaughter."
Emily Collins looked at Jocelyn and laughed.
