In the Type For You office, Aunt Penny mutters "pas devant" to Gene, motioning over her shoulder at Judith. The phrase is, of course, French, and means "Not in front of..." The two classic ways to complete the phrase, and each meaning, are "Pas devant les domestiques," ("Not in front of the servants,") and "Pas devant les enfants," ("Not in front of the kids.") Because Aunt Penny intentionally left the phrase unfinished, Judith pointed out that either way, though situationally understandable, was in her case specifically inaccurate.
