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!

She couldn’t help but feel touched.

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