"What! You want my sister to go to Australia with you?" Debby Sutton had developed a habit of surprise, and couldn't help but cry out as soon as Basil Jaak shared his plan.
Basil Jaak explained, "I'm just proposing an idea for discussion. There's no definite decision yet. Miss Sutton, why are you so agitated?"
"Hmph, no matter what you say, I don't agree to you taking my sister to Australia. What if she catches a cold on the plane or something, can you bear the responsibility?" Debby Sutton defied him boldly. This wasn't something she'd easily compromise on.
Basil Jaak didn't get upset at Debby Sutton, he turned to their mother and said, "Auntie, I think we should get Sutton's own opinion on this."
Mrs. Sutton agreed, "Indeed, it's Betsy who should make the decision." She turned to Betsy and asked, "Betsy, what do you think?"
Debby Sutton glanced at Basil Jaak and set down the book in her hand. She said to her mother, "Mom, I don't think it's necessary to go to Australia."
