While not overtly seeking attention, her quick mind and frank powers of observation often made her the most engaging presence in any gathering. Elizabeth's humor was balanced by a core of integrity - she cared deeply about propriety yet also sympathized with those suffering injustice. She had an insightful ability to read others' emotions and motives.
