Erin coughed a few times as her throat was still burning. 

It took her a while to return to normal, and she looked at Henry, who had been watching her with amusement on his face.

"Oh really? You're not taught to act courteously? I thought a woman from a small conservative town must've been taught to be an elegant woman her whole life," Henry sneered. "Are you sure it's not just you? Because I had breakfast, lunch and dinner with Kate many times before, and she is pretty elegant and neat."
