Lirian rested his hands on the two girls waists when they reached the inn.
When they climbed the three wooden stairs and walked through the door the innkeeper's wife was staring at the girls with a look of scorn as she swept the inns floor.
"Ella, Elsie!" the innkeepers wife cried out as she looked at the two girls, "What do two young girls such as yourselves think you're doing?" she snapped seeing how intimately the girls were clinging onto Lirian.
"You girls had best keep distance between yourselves and a man you hardly know, or I'll be telling your parents about this preposterous behaviour of yours,"
"I have known you since you were born and spent many hours taking care of you, your mother and I have spent countless hours teaching you about how a good girl ought to behave," she scolded them in a very heated tone.
Her voice carried across the street and was heard by many of the neighbours.
