Jane McCain was both excited and nervous, unable to hold back her anticipation for something to happen, yet she also knew that if Purple Summers really went over, it would definitely cause a huge stir!
That was Master Xander!
To speak frankly, even if Master Xander merely farted, it would attract attention, let alone the highly suggestive matter of relationships with the opposite sex?
If Purple Summers really went over there and engaged in a conversation with Roy Howard, she would immediately become the target of public criticism!
Keep in mind that the position of the lady of the house was still vacant.
Jane McCain's feelings were tangled and contradictory. On one hand, she looked forward to something happening; on the other hand, she was worried about how Purple Summers would ensure her own safety after the fact.
But Purple Summers was determined to pretend she didn't recognize him and pulled Jane McCain away to a distance, avoiding Alexander Summers' line of sight.
