- “Dad told me what you said,” Jane stated straight to the point, no discussion or inquiry allowed. “How could you! You promised me you could handle it; you said you would be friendly towards Rebecca and now Dad is ranting at me and wants to tell you a few home truths. It’s taken me lots of reasoning with Dad to keep him from coming over here, if it was not Granddad’s house then he would have done,” she finished her rant, red-faced and tense.
