...Though drinking steadily, she never allows presumably progressive tipsiness to impede her finicky, wooden speech patterns. Admittedly, the old-fashioned slang hampers Fillingham.

Instead of promoting animosity between the teams, he has actively discouraged it. At the start of this year, I was given a long talk by Bernal on ways to improve the relationship, with direct orders for our swimmers to "cool it". The captains the year before were given the same instructions...
