I would say give her a break.   She has "environmentally friendly 
business practices" and will meet with you to "discuss life over a 
delicious cup of tea".  How many pros can say that?  Plus, I learned 
that "There is almost no end to the list of critical roles that oxygen 
plays".  Most of the pros I know, if they will discuss anything, will be 
over a shot(s) of whiskey, usually with a cigarette removing the oxygen.
