Scale of curiosity

In a recent profile of actress Faye Dunaway [“Takes One to Know One...” Feb. 27], Maria Elena Fernandez writes that “Dunaway took a sip of her tea, which she was drinking without milk because she forgot her food scale.”

Ms. Fernandez, you are a terrible tease. For how long has Ms. Dunaway been traveling with a food scale? Does she just whip it out and put it on the table, or does she kind of hide it underneath, perhaps balancing it on her hand? Does it require assembly? Has anyone French ever shouted at her upon seeing it?

We have no choice but to construe this as cruelty by omission.
