Mrs. Herd sobbed, "You speak so lightly, but that was kidnapping... It's not child's play. No wonder I was restless that day. Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
Anthony Davis embraced her, "I was afraid you'd worry. Scarlett Glenn expressly instructed me not to tell you..."
Mrs. Herd raised her hand and struck Anthony, crying out, "You're not worried about me at all. You obviously think... you think that if I heard this news, I would leave you, right?"
Anthony nodded, "I don't want to deceive you. It's both reasons."
Mrs. Herd gasped between sobs, "I knew it, you're just an Old Fox. Scarlett Glenn got kidnapped and you didn't even tell me... What are you scheming? I must see her, and you'd better not try to stop me."
To her surprise, Anthony actually said, "Sure, if you want to visit them, I'll arrange a car for you at any time."
Mrs. Herd forgot to keep crying and blankly asked, "You're that nice?"
"Of course, but on one condition..."
