The Old Man felt it wasn't enough and added another sentence, "You must hurry up and settle this matter."
At his side, the Old Lady nodded, "Your dad is right, you have gone too far with this. We can understand that you like Meina, but you... are you perhaps too hasty."
However, in her heart, the Old Lady thought that being hasty was good!
Mrs. Herd saw that things were getting out of hand and had to call a halt at once, "Wait, this can't be... Auntie, listen to me, we... that was... an accident!"
With a skeptical face, the Old Lady said, "An accident... can an accident last an entire night? Meina, don't worry, with your Uncle Davis and me here to support you, did he threaten you? Speak up boldly."
"No... you've all misunderstood."
The Old Lady earnestly said, "We've not misunderstood; it must have been this brat... he forced you. You both stayed over last night, we can't just let him off for an incident like this in our house."
