James was furious that this old hag had the gall to make him look irresponsible and Lily wasn’t any better. She was ready to scream at Augusta that she had no right to treat her baby boy this badly, but she couldn’t, because it would look bad in front of the Grangers and Lily didn’t want to lose their trust. For that reason, she had to let her baby being punished, in order to have the trust from the Grangers. As James wanted to started yelling, Lily jabbed him on the ribs with her elbow and pointed with her look to the Grangers. James remained silent, because they couldn’t lose the Granger girl to their side. Molly looked ready to start screaming at that woman. How dare she treat her baby boy like this, but she couldn’t say anything as long as she was under this ridiculous house arrest.
