Wayne was insincere towards Marian, responding to her enthusiasm with curt phrases filled with mhm's, haha's and other words of feigned attention.
After flaunting her charm for a while and failing to impress Wayne, Marian, somewhat irked, made a hasty exit, planning to don her battle attire and sound a full-on assault tonight.
It was poor form for Wayne to publicly question a lady's charm.
Well done, at least you know what's good for you!
Veronica looked on with a cold and detached gaze, mentally labeling Marian as damaged goods, ready to step forward and mock the societal refuse, only to see a blond head appear, laughing and chatting with the refuse.
Not you again!
Enraged, Veronica decided that Viola already had a death wish, and resolved to dispose of her by dumping her body into the sea tonight.
The welcome banquet continued until after afternoon tea.
