Heloise did not know whether to applaud the girl's courage or shake her head at her ignorance. "he has done nothing to you" she would say, showing a flash of her teeth as she spoke. the boy had not been the one to charge. "so unless you want a fight, tell us what you assume we have done to offend you." for even if the girl won, she would still be beaten by the time she got to Roscoe. then he could defend himself without much worry.
