Douglas glanced at the ladies watching the conversation he was having.  The quick smiles or pretending (badly) to be suddenly interested in a book or something nearby.  He shook his head giving a grimace look himself.  At the girl's comment about not fussing about her, he shrugged. 

"As long as yu are okay.  I would nae 'ave anyone 'urt by bad mannered welps."  He explained. 

If it was of the young people back in his property back home he would have dealt with it appropriately with an equally embarrassing manner to make the lesson to be remembered.

He glanced over to Nesah and nodded.  "I'm glad yu were close tae 'elp the lass."  He spoke quietly to the other woman.

When Phillipa spoke again, he shrugged again.  "Aye, I will make my own decisions on that.  But having evidence of the kinds of people to avoid makes it easier to toss some invites out of the mix."  He gave a light smile.  "As yu seem okay  then, I will get the attention out of this area and let you ladies get back to more normal activities."  He gave a gracious brief bent at his waist for Phillippa and Nesah before heading to the door but made a stop by the library main desk to speak quietly.  He made it as if he were asking about the other ladies that had made such a bad scene in a whisper with the librarian.  He got their family names and thanked the man there.  He planned to not make a step in their homes.
