"Your dad… seemed to have misunderstood something."

'What misunderstanding could it be?' Penny wondered, glossing her eyes over the faces in front of her.

Butler Jen gazed at Hugo and then at Penny before shifting his eyes to the rest of the family. 

"It's not an otter," Haines sighed helplessly, glancing at Charles to let the man explain. 

At this point, Charles's spirit already hit rock bottom. He looked at Penny apologetically, retrieving his hand from Atlas and Slater.
