Florence Ford sat beside Jimmy Horne, also quite interested in the handgun.
Originally, Florence was not allowed to enter the Main House. But once Jimmy arrived, she stood outside looking in. Jimmy casually called her in, saying she was too young for guard duty.
Although his tone carried a teasing lilt, Florence was still very happy. She could finally enter the grand Main House, and it was the young master who had allowed her to do so.
Jimmy had not yet been formally acknowledged by the Horne Family, but everyone already recognized his status as the young master. When he invited Florence into the house, Deon Myers and the others did not feel it was their place to stop her. They thought the children needed to play and required a companion. Moreover, since the Manor Head had specifically asked Florence to accompany the young master, they were happy to comply with Jimmy's wishes.
With the family owning a Toy Company, Jimmy had lost interest in toy guns.
