A man was sitting with a tense face. He even squeezed his hands tightly. If the one standing in front of him was a man, he might have done something crazy. Let's say he was trying to invite someone to a duel with him.
Edward Huxley. He was in his office trying to focus on the work that was piling up at the time.

Abigail was sitting very close to her husband. Only she was sitting impolitely at Edward's desk. Deliberately do it to get attention and make her husband uncomfortable or disturbed by her presence.
She crossed her legs, even though at that time Abigail was wearing a pretty minimal skirt. Showing some areas of her long legs - according to her, it would not be a problem if her husband saw it.
