Enter a personal reminiscence or story.
When I was 12, I attended a debate at The House of Lords, accompanied by a school friend upon her invitation. "Black Rod" was delightedly stamping his rod to our delight and merriment and she told him: "That will do!" and he did look a bit crestfallen. Tea was super. At a party at my parents' flat, she was sitting in an upright chair which I thought could not be comfortable but she explained it was a "spoon back" and a "Queen Anne" and she thought it was a charming chair.
