"Leaving so soon?" Nathan asked. "You're really not staying a little longer?"
"No, no!" Sean Sutton said, quickly leaving with his family.

Anne Sutton looked at Nathan and said, "I can't believe how effective you are just by showing up!"
Nathan's gaze fell on Anne. "Sorry, I'm late."
"I'm just glad you're here," Anne said. "It's pretty funny, though. He acts so fearless, but the second he saw you, he couldn't get away fast enough."
'He must be one of those types who bullies the weak and fears the strong.'
Nathan said, "My reputation precedes me. Nothing to be done about it. Let's go inside. How's your mother?"
His gaze fell on Mrs. Sutton.
Mrs. Sutton said, "I'm fine."
Anna Linden glanced at her and said to Mrs. Sutton, "Let's go inside first."
