it’s easy to know that if her mother (or any of her sisters) was in the room, she wouldn’t have said anything. would have just continued reading her current book and let the others talk to themselves but no, that wasn’t the case and she figured she had nothing better to do than to talk to the man. “please tell me, what are you here for, sir? you do not seem like the type of gentleman to come house visiting just because you where in the neighborhood.”
