What it sounds like
She says her mind is much more intelligent than his.
What it really means
“Eloise means to belittle Theo’s intelligence after he assumes she is only interested in gossip and marriage.”
Said today
“I can tell I’m a lot smarter than you.”
What was happening
Theo dismisses the papers as unsuitable for her and assumes she wants gossip about an eligible bachelor. Eloise argues that she is there to discuss women’s rights and challenges his surprise at her being well-read and articulate.
