This couple: are they the sort that you maintain a polite friendship with, or are they the sort that you can really talk to when you are feeling blue? The sort of people that if you were to notice them serving themselves some of your 30 year old Scotch, you would show them where the 75 year old Scotch is kept because they are exactly the sort of "special friends" that you bought it to share with?
