Wilbert had just come back when Carrie babbled everything that had happened in the afternoon to him. She skimmed over the bad parts, and as he heard about the matter, Wilbert frowned.

He had a rough idea of what Carrie and Louise got up to, but if they didn’t go too far, he’d just let them be. Louise really had gone too far this time, though.

“Don’t fret? How am I supposed not to fret? Oh… Wilbert, back then when you married me, you swore up and down that you were going to treat Louise as your own daughter. She’s just made a small mistake, and you Grants are doing this to her, like you’re going to chase us out… oh… you horrid, horrid man!”
