“Sorry, Mr Carter, I didn't mean to offend you” Mrs Abby felt a little e the other behind his back
“It doesn't ard that as a compliment Go with Irene and Little Lily to take look at the skits Just thinking about those clowns makes me smile”
“That won't do, I have to prepare lunch for Master”
“Then come back before eleven o'clock It is currently nine o'clock, so you still have two hours to take a stroll”
“But…”
Not waiting for Mrs Abby's refusal, Carter interrupted her: “Just treat it as a task I gave you and have fun for two hours”
“Haha, Mr Carter, nice one” Irene happily pulled Abby by the aro, Mrs Abby, I can't wait to see the clowns”

“Then I will also stay behind If there is anything, call me”
“Are you sure you don't want to join in the hustle and bustle?”
“I am old, too old for the hustle and bustle”
“Don't say that, Mrs Mawson, I feel like I ahtened his back, looking a bit ster Carter”
