Ben Lucas: "I've already had my people accompany Miss Connor for three dances, which is the best way to treat a guest. What, Miss Connor still thinks it's not enough and wants more?"
Three dances.
He hadn't even danced with Debby once, but here was this woman taking him away three times.
If this isn't considered preferential treatment, Ben Lucas really doesn't know what is.
If it weren't for Commander Nelson watching nearby, and for Debby's status in the army, Ben Lucas would have asked Jennifer Connor to leave right after the waltz started.
"I didn't mean that..." Jennifer Connor didn't understand how she had offended this man in front of her, why Major General Lucas had to speak to her in such a tone.
She just wanted to spend a little more time with Harrison Lucas, but when Major General Lucas spoke, it made her sound like a greedy woman.
