"Of course!" Susanna scoffed. "I refuse to believe I'll keep losing!"

"Wow!" Magdalen turned to the others. "I've never seen anyone as persistent as Ms. Murphy!"

Emily and Marina struggled to contain their laughter; they knew Magdalen too well, so her statement clearly meant, "I've never seen anyone as foolish as Ms. Murphy!"
