If you let your guard down, you would be greeted by her colourful blend of sarcastic wit.

Besides being unforgiving to mistakes made by others, she was even more demanding towards herself. The reason for her wrath was simple, as it was agreed that we were supposed to meet up here at ten in the morning.
