Explain everything clearly…
Scarlett Yates pulled out another pale, powerless smile.
Are there really things she can "explain clearly" just by explaining?

Scarlett didn't speak, and Olly thought she was seriously considering her words. Feeling a bit delighted with herself, convinced she'd done something pretty good, she kept defending Matthew: "The Young Master has gone to get some medicine right now. He'll be back very soon. He told me to stay here and take good care of you."
