As Fiona walked almost alongside the attendant, the attendant who had suddenly realized that she had no way to address the companions of Miss Lecroy, asked Fiona,
"Miss Lecroy, how do I address this young gentleman?" she asked, referring to Davies as he was the only one who had spoken.
"Davies Lake," Fiona answered half-mindedly, her mind still having errant thoughts running through it.
Because of the errant thoughts occupying her head, she had not remembered to give any thought to how her answer would cause an explosive reaction from whoever heard it.
Immediately after her words flew out of her mouth and fell onto the ears of the attendant, a loud gasp could be heard from her, and that immediately brought clarity to Fiona's mind about what she had just done.
