p. 91 Bloomsburry edition: ' I was so pleased to 'ear you would be
coming - zere isn't much to do 'ere unless you like cooking and chickens!

'I am theenking of dressing zem in pale gold - pink would of course be
'orrible with Ginny' air -'

'She 'as let 'erself go, zat Tonks,' mused Fleur, examining her own
stunning reflection in the back of a teaspoon.

both p. 126

p. 313 Eez eet over? said Fleur loudly. Thank goodness, what an orrible -'

Never, ever in these episodes do we see Fleur ever paying attention to
anything outside her own world. Shortsighted and impolite.

If you are with your in laws to get to know them it is rather impolite
to tell another gueast how boring you find it.

Yes, red and pink don't go together but is there a ruder way to say so? 

Yes, Tonks is letting herself go, but even Fleur must have heard she
lost her cousin whom she loved very much and was severely injured
herself at the beginning of the summer. 

Well, it is obvious mrs. Weasly loved the broadcast, it meant very
much to her. Did Fleur have to say so very loudly how much she hated it? 

I literaly cannot find one nice or even polite remark that is made by
Fleur in the whole book. No wonder his family thinks she cannot really
love anyone because she seems to be only interested in herself.
