He said, "It's normal for kids to have little arguments. Let's do this: have the crew prepare a couple of outfits and let Ms. Carnegie and my daughter go and change."

This "Ms. Carnegie" that Harris referred to was Ophelia. Ophelia glanced at Phoebe, who had "kindly" intervened. To outsiders, it seemed like she was helping to defuse the situation for her.
