“an idle question - if I asked someone to Talk Veuve to Me,
what would she likely say?)”

*** JOLY
ITS NOT SO MUCH “WHAT” SHE WOULD SAY
BUT...MORE “HOW” SHE WOULD SAY IT!

SUCH AS...
LADY CAT REPRESENTS THE TRUE MEANING OF “VERVE-NESS”

VIGOR and spirit or enthusiasm.
"She Dances with supreme verve and flexibility"

synonyms:
enthusiasm · vigor · energy · pep · dynamism · go · elan · vitality ·
vivacity · buoyancy · liveliness · animation · sprightliness · zest · sparkle

I like your thinking, Ruff, but her name doesn't include "verve", but "veuve", which I think comes from the French for widow. The only time I've ever come across the word was on the label of Veuve Cliquot, a popular French Champagne. It got that name when Mr. Cliquot died and his widow took over the winery, thus the reference to the widow Cliquot. That's why I was so curious about the meaning of the name.

OOOOOOPSADOODLE!!!

That’s what I get for letting my eyes and brain
Read faster than they should!

Since the word refers to a WIDOW
The sire of the horse is VIOLENCE
Could it refer to the way that the husband died?

{Personally I’ve never understood the reasoning
Behind some of the Horse names I see..}

Why would anyone want to call a horse ... VIOLENCE
Or the reference could be as you said
Referring to the CHAMPAGNE....

Either way it still doesn’t make sense to me
