Forgive me. I merely came to—I’ve invited Captain Phelan to join us, Beatrix announced. He doesn’t want to talk. Do not ask him direct questions unless absolutely necessary.The rest of the family received this unorthodox pronouncement without turning a hair. A footman was dispatched to set a place for him.Come in, Phelan, Leo said easily. We love silent guests—it allows us to talk all the more. By all means, sit and say nothing.But if you can manage it, Catherine added with a smile, try to look impressed by our wit and intelligence.I will attempt to add to the conversation, Christopher ventured, if I can think of anything relevant.That never stops the rest of us, Cam remarked. ― Lisa Kleypas, Love in the Afternoon
