"I know you don't trust me," Hazel said, looking calm, "so I called in two servants who could testify that I didn't do anything but only feed mom congee."
"Yes," the two servants explained in panic, "What Mrs. Denmark said is true."
Ted looked a little embarrassed. Since Hazel didn't cook the congee, two servants watched out for her all the time. Of course, there couldn't be anything wrong with this bowl of congee. Hence, it could be said that he had a very suspicious mind.
"Hazel, you did the right thing. You are open and upright, but you also ought to keep others from trying to judge your big heart with his mean heart," Joshua said in an earnest tone as he sat down beside Hazel. "Mr. King knows he made a mistake, but he's too proud and tries to save face, so he won't apologize to you. I can only feel sorry for you."
