"You always seem so calm," they said, and Agatha smiled. "I am slow to anger on purpose; the slower the better." "That would be impossible for me," one of them added, eyes sparkling with appreciation. "You're an inspiration."

I mean, hi-Stephen-King-apocalypse-starts-in-a-small-town-in-Maine nuclear." And they stared, wondering if she was kidding (and Agatha simply let them wonder).
