I dinna understand "quite" as first word of her missive. Is that a colloquial accepted term, like "like", each of which is not only redundant but also unnecessary and superfluous.

Thanks that is a term not heard on this side, but shouldn't there be a comma after "Quite" like there would be for "really" or "truly"? I know, I'm channeling my inner MGM or BSG.

Verily I say unto you a comma is unnecessary. 8-)
