Lester breathed in to control himself and gave a warning look to Rees. Understanding the meaning of that look, Rees stepped forward to mediate the situation.
"Ruth! You have no right to say such inappropriate things to Lady Eloise. We are only servants and we should not forget our place!"

She turned her head to throw daggers at him with her eyes.
