Mr. Ace tells Jane he's bringing home an important client to dinner and warned Jane to be careful of what she said. And Jane replied, "Don't worry, I've got more brains in my little finger than I have in my entire head." And during dinner, she proved it. Or as Mr. Ace puts it, "How to grow old gracefully in one hour."
