Tiffany nodded, understanding that Mary's distraction might have been fueled by the earlier encounter with Nora. However, she didn't want to delve into it further. "It happens. Let's not dwell on it. We'll address it later. For now, let's focus on getting home."
Mary, however, wasn't ready to let it go. Frowning, she muttered under her breath, blaming Nora for the entire situation. "If that Nora hadn't distracted me, I wouldn't have been so careless. I was too busy thinking about how to put her in her place."
Tiffany, realizing that Mary was agitated, tried to pacify her. "Mary, accidents happen. Let's not make it more than it is. We'll sort it out tomorrow. For now, let's put it behind us."
Tiffany watched as her maid blamed Nora for the forgotten cloak, and a wry smile played on her lips. She found Mary's attempt to shift the blame amusing but decided to diffuse the situation.
