Madeline noticed how James' eyes met hers for a few seconds before they looked at the King. He bowed his head in greeting. Madeline had to say that even though Calhoun and James were not in obvious good terms with each other, James was still behaving politely with Calhoun, and the main reason could be that it was because Calhoun was the King of Devon who could crush James like an ant.
"Welcome my King, to my humble shop," said James, "Milady," he finally greeted Madeline who gave him a nod with a small smile. The last time she had been looking at James, it had warranted with Calhoun's hand moving up on her thigh. She was learning, Madeline was a fast learner compared to the other girls whom she knew, and she prided herself on it. She hoped it was true.
"Good day to you Mr. Heathcliff," no tailorman? Asked Madeline to herself. Was Calhoun nice because James was polite? Also, it would be rude to look down at James when they were not in the castle but in James' shop.
