Akima:
"Young lady, you may not share my belief system, but I'll kindly ask you to respect it in my presence".
What? Like you're respecting Penelope's skeptical viewpoint in her presence, eh? At least Penny didn't threaten/poke/strike you with a stick! *
* Claire's behaviour would probably (IANAL) constitute assault in Australia, even if she did not actually touch Penelope with her cane, because her act clearly caused Penelope to feel apprehension. If she did touch her, it would be battery too.
snubnose:
... isnt that the old lady from the Sexshop ?

Oh Penelope, why must you be the vocal atheist when you don't bother to think things through.

Because there's a mountain of scientific evidence for curses, right?

I'm not sure that's what Nightson meant. I think he was referring to the self-contradiction of Penelope believing in luck, but not in curses. They're BOTH superstitions.
Also, now Hannelore is going to be working at Coffee of Doom she will need a new T-shirt.
I'm O-CoD-elicious!
Border Reiver:
There's limits to respecting other's belief systems Akima - when someone starts off with being very rude about yours you don't have to go - "I respect your disbelief in mine, but I would appreciate you not being so rude about it." Where I come from that's called being a sap - if you don't believe in something strongly enough to stand up for it, you really don't believe in it that strongly.
And that is simply a gesture with the cane to emphasize her point. The assault comes later. If the tea doesn't.

Claire didn't disrespect Penolpe's viewpoint, she just asked her to be respectful of it.
Australia has a really thin definition of assault, Claire didn't even threaten Penolpe.
