Her attitude, in the eyes of everyone, was certainly not one of apology, much less polite.
Mr. Daniel's eyes flashed with surprise, but he showed a nonchalant demeanor and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
The Chalmers couple heard the noise, called for someone to clean it up, and instructed someone to tend to Victoria Hayes' knee injury.
"Mr. Daniel, your pant legs and shoes are dirty, why don't you come inside to clean up?" Mrs. Chalmers said considerately.
"Sure, thank you." Mr. Daniel said with a smile.
"Not at all, the temporary worker hired for the house isn't very stable. I hope you weren't frightened."
"I'm a grown man, this wouldn't scare me. It's just that the server you hired took quite a fall." Mr. Daniel laughed it off.
Mr. Daniel followed someone inside to clean his shoes and pants.
Mrs. Chalmers stayed with Mrs. Daniel to chat.
