His voice carried a heavy note, half confirmation, half warning.
Cora, who had moved toward her window during the call, absentmindedly staring at the street below, nodded instinctively, even though the line was only audio.

Whoever he is, if he's trying to use my name or cause you trouble, you have every right to act."
