Double-Edged, Loaded, and Handleless Question

I followed Harkim into the house, with my wives behind me, but Harkim sent his daughter to find Titania, Nuwari, and Arrentia. The inside of the house was not overly large and both the Mayor's and my head almost touched the ceiling. I was led straight ahead and had to duck under a doorway to get into what looked to be in the kitchen.

I looked around and spotted a child standing at the counter on a stand with her back turned. How many daughters did this man have? I was about to ask him when the child turned around, hearing all of us crowding into the not overly big kitchen. 

Oh shit, that was no fucking child, jeezus, I almost could have died there. Magic or not, this woman was Violet, but older and actually scary looking. That scowl could peel paint and I could almost feel my skin being flayed off as she gave me a once over.

"Gre...Hyde Kline, let me introduce me to my lovely wife, Teema Platz."
