Why is Longman sitting in White Mitchell's seat?
With so many empty spots in the room, he could have sat anywhere, so why choose the last place?
What could be the reason for this?
Unbelievable, the Coopers are taken by surprise. Unless it was happening right before their eyes, they would have thought there was something wrong with their vision!
Whoosh!
After a few seconds of silence, a wave of exclamation rose from the crowd.
The Coopers were behaving like ants on a hot pan, becoming restless.
"Enough of the noise! Silence!" Maddox, his face worn, scolds them and silences their astonishment.
Maddox then walks over nervously towards Longman, his old face strained into an uncomfortable smile.
At this moment, his forced smile looks uglier than a cry.
"Mr...Mr. Longman, would you...would you prefer a different seat?" Maddox respectfully said to Longman.
