around and walked out.

careful when you get home tonight, Ms. McKinnon. Mr. Brighthall is not in a good mood. He broke
some items in the study yet he still did not vent his anger, so he went out to drink. It would be best if
you avoided him as much as you could when you’re home.”

because she was the reason for his anger.
