Even though Francis didn't look at her, Mable remained staring at him even as she thought about his question.

"I didn't want to lie, but I also didn't like you in our room," she admitted shamelessly.  "Don't make me lie again.  I'll only get better with practice."

His first question seemed harder for her to answer.

"I won't get him in trouble... I don't think you were doing anything wrong, besides intruding in our space.  But I also don't like it.  I mean, if he marries you - which, he won't - but if he did, he'd not be able to have any babies.  And I think that would make him very sad.  Also, I don't like you very much, Francis.  Sorry."
