Familien samlet.. Mr Reyes? - McCree

Jack, Angela og deres forældre var tilbage fra festen i Mr. Reyes estate...

Jack satte sig ned i sofaen og slappede lidt af oven på den lange aften.

Den ældre mr. Morrison kom ind i stuen og så strengt på sin søn. "What is this I hear about you being seen with mister Reyes at the party? Walking in the gardens .. You do remember we are not friendly with that man?"

Mrs. Morrison var ikke langt efter. "Jack Morrison. What is this I hear with you not saying a wor all evening to the young miss Olivia?"

McCree stod i et hjørne af stuen og lyttede interesseret med .. Jack havde hængt ud med Gabriel?

Jack sukkede svagt "I can't much deny talking to the man who has invited us, now can I father?" spurgte han.. og ignorerde morens spørgsmål >_>

Jacks fader så strengt på ham. "It did not seem like you were ony making polite conversations"

Mrs. Morrison rystede på hovedet. "Abd not only that, you made it completly impossible for your sister to get a word in with mr. Reyes, now that it goes so poorly with mr. O'Deorain." Her fik Angela et giftigt blik

McCree kom til at smile lidt og holdt øje med Jack

Angela vendte kort øjne af sin mor og rystede på hovedet "isn't it better that Jack converse with him than none at all?"

Deres fader så ikke helt enig ud. "It would be better if we avoided them .. They are not our friends and theirf friends are certainly not"

"Åh sludder!" udbrød moderen. "If we could just get Angela married to one of the gentlemen and then Jack to miss Olivia!

"I am not marrying Miss Olivia mother, she has no interest in me" sagde Jack

Angela nikkede kort "and Mr. O'Deorain certainly has no interest in me."

Mr Morrison rynkede brynene lidt. "Hrm .. then just the more reason not to get too friendly"

"Aw rubbish" sagde moderen utilfrdst. "If you two used some of that stuborness on trying to charm them instead of insistenig on seeing us ruined!"

"I will not bother a young woman with my company if it is unwanted mother, what sort of man would I then be?" spurgte han

Angela fnøs "I would rather marry the gardner." sagder hun

Jacks fader sukkede lidt .. og nikkede. Han så lidt mellem sine to børn og rynkede brynene

Angelas moder så forfærdet på hende, hun havde ellers dkulle til at skælde Jack ud. "Do not say such thigs, girl!"

"It's true" fnøs Angela og så væk!

Jack kom til at smile lidt... "now now Angela.."

Mr. Morrison sukkede svagt. "Now now dear" sagde han til sine kone

Mrs. Morrison var ikke spor berolige. "How can you talk like that?! Don't you know he has 10.000 a year!"

"I wouldn't care if he should have 50.000!" fnøs hun

Jack kom til at smile og grinede lidt..

Mrs. Morrison så forfærdet ud! "How can yoy say that! 50.000 .. can you imagine?!"

McCree skjulte et grin bag hånden

"Now now mama" brummede Jack "he doesn't, and he has shown no interest in Angela, so there is hardly anything lost.."

Angela nikkede enigt "let the Malfoy's have him."

Faderen nikkede lidt. "Hrm .. He can only have poor taste if he does not like our Angela"

Moderen lavede et trist hvin. "Uuuh, how I suffer .. shall I really live to see the Malfoys take everything that should have been ours?"

"Now now mother... Mr. O'Deorain was never ours" sagde han og smilede lidt

Angela fnøs "no indeed not."

"Oh, but he could have been! And so culd Olivia Reeyes .. but you are determined to ruin us!" klagede hun

"Now .. there there, dear" sagde mr. Morrison og klappede hende på ryggen

"I am telling you, I was discarded before I ever met her" sagde Jack

Angela så mod moren "you saw that he had no interest in me."

"But none of you have tried to charm them" sagde moderen og rystede på hovedet. "How are we to get anything like that?"

"Now oe dear .. we will do quite fine without them" sagde faderen beroligende

Angela nikkede enigt "indeed."

Jack tøvede.... måske, med Gabriels hjælp..

Moderen sukkede ulykkeligt. "We will all be ruined!"

Deres fader sukkede svagt. "Now now .. it wil not go so poorly .. "

Jack rynkede brynene ... deres chancer stod bedre nu end længe.. hvis Gabriel var en ærlig mand og de ikke blev opdaget..

Angela sukkede svagt

"I will go to my bed!" sagde moderen dramatisk. "Since no one here has any compassion for my nerves!"

Deres far kom til at smile lidt. "I dare say the rest will do you well, my dear"

Jack sukkede svagt "mama.."

Angela åbnede en bog!
