"Mm, Master Benedict isn't that kind of person," Mr. Ashworth agreed with a nod.
Out of the corner of her eye, Cecilia Ashworth saw Seraphina curled up on the sofa, looking drowsy, and her lip twitched. "Seraphina, how can you not be the least bit worried?" 'We're all worried sick, and here the star of the show is about to fall asleep. She really has some nerve.'
"..." Everyone turned in unison to look at Seraphina Ashworth. Seeing her sleepy expression, they were all instantly exasperated.
"I'm telling you, my dearest sister, what on earth were you doing last night? Why are you still so tired?" Jasper Ashworth looked up at Seraphina, speaking with a sense of helplessness. "You didn't go rob a bank, did you?"
'His sister was terrifyingly calm. Had she not heard a word they'd just said?'
Jasper's comment helped to dispel some of the gloomy atmosphere in the living room.
