She was extremely annoyed at Herbert.

Doesn’t he understand the importance of familial bonds? I’m his own sister, yet instead of treating me well, he’s treating me so poorly. What a display of bad manners!

Herbert replied, “Someone knocked on the wrong door.”

Phyllis didn’t think much of it. “What do you think of this outfit? Your sister truly has an impeccable taste. Every piece of clothing seems perfect for me.”

She couldn’t help but feel touched.

“This outfit is also quite good,” complimented Herbert.
