The servant Mrs. Sterling had sent to check on the situation returned quickly. Seeing the questioning and concerned look in Mrs. Sterling's eyes, the servant wore an expression of unease and embarrassment.
Seeing the servant's expression, Mrs. Sterling's heart sank. 'Oh no,' she thought. 'Don't tell me that girl Aurora has caused trouble again.'
"What happened?" Mrs. Sterling asked urgently.
The servant lowered her head timidly. "A crowd of guests has gathered by the entrance, so I didn't dare get too close. I could vaguely see Miss White from the White Group shouting angrily, saying things like 'have you no shame?' I had a bad feeling, so I hurried back to report to you, Ma'am."
Seeing the servant's evasive expression, Mrs. Sterling's heart sank. "Is Aurora there too?"
