"Don't just focus on talking with James, his wife is here too, you should all get to know her," Aunt Grace, who had met John Brown before, reminded everyone quickly, showing less surprise than the others.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Emily Berns. John Brown quickly said, "This is my wife, Emily Berns. This is my daughter, Emily. This is my Aunt Mary..." John Brown introduced his relatives to Emily Berns one by one.
Emily Berns greeted the elders warmly and gracefully, leaving a very good impression. She was clearly from the city, yet not at all haughty. However, she didn't take off her sunglasses, which made the elders a bit puzzled, but they were too polite to ask. Perhaps it's just a city-dweller's peculiar habit.
Little Violet was very excited when she arrived, but was now feeling a bit timid, suddenly seeing so many adults. She was really unaccustomed to it and hid behind Emily Berns, peeking out timidly at everyone.
