She grew up on a steady diet of Sherlock Holmes, Trixie Belden, and Quincy, M.E. and always played the lead prosecutor in mock trials. She has never had a governess, and no one has ever accused her of being irrepressible, but a teacher did once call her ""argumentative""--which was entirely untrue.
