Mom's angry mode is scary.
I didn't really notice before, because I never had her anger directed towards me, like it is now.
"How could you say that in front of a Bishop of all people! Do you have an idea of the trouble that you created?"
She is holding a letter in her hand, waving it in front of me with exalted gestures.
The letter is a 'gentle invitation' from the Principal for a talk. I obviously told her what happened as soon as I came to stay for the weekend. I didn't imagine she would react this way.
"We just butted heads with the Church a few months ago and barely escaped prosecution, and then you come with this. Why couldn't you just say 'yes' and feign compliance? At least in front of the bishop!"
"Lily… would you have done that when you were at that age?"
Levinna came in to aid me, but the argument wasn't very effective. Lillian knows my real age, which Levinna doesn't know.
Thus, any age argument won't fly here.
