Stella snapped, "Stewart, have you no shame? You're busy planning a wedding with Rosita, but at the same time you want to share a room with our Bryn? Honestly, you should change your last name. Stewart Ainsworth would suit you better-two-faced royalty!"

James chimed in, voice dripping with disdain, “Stewart, as a man, I honestly have nothing but contempt for you."
