It is difficult to describe Miss Vanessa's complexion at this moment.
Her complexion resembled that of being scorched in a closed furnace before a scoop of ashes had been sprinkled on.
MULTIPLE saw the guests around the dining table, with Mrs. Shaw naturally in the center, her complexion composed, without a smile, but her eyes had a playful expression.
William Shaw's emotions were even more apparent.
He was sizing up MULTIPLE at this moment, as if Vanessa's words and MULTIPLE's dramatic arrival had piqued his interest immensely.
As for Bella Shaw, she simply covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with laughter.
There were several others seated nearby whom MULTIPLE did not recognize, presumably friends and relatives of the Shaw Family, all looking at MULTIPLE with a curiosity that indirectly ignored Vanessa's awkwardness.
