Miss Manners characterizes the cousin's wife as "one nasty cousin" and suggests the daughter use "a secretive smile" with the line "Oh, please, we're still courting" for nosy questioners. On the hospitality matter, she advises treating family differently from unrelated guests and warns against cutting off the husband from his sister over perceived ingratitude.
