You forget that you are nothing but a servant." "A servant has the right to be decently treated, Mr.Mark." "If you don't look out," said Mark, in a blustering tone, "I will report you to my father, and have you kicked out of the house." Deborah was naturally incensed at this rude speech, but she was spared the trouble of replying.

Frank entered the room at this moment in time to hear Mark's last speech.
"What is this about being kicked out of the house ?" he asked, looking from Mark to Deborah, in a tone of unconscious authority, which displeased his stepbrother.
"That is my business," replied Mark, shortly.
"Mr.Mark has threatened to have me kicked out of the house because he has to wait for his supper," said Deborah.
"It wasn't for that.

It was because you were impertinent.

All the same, I think it is shameful that I can't get anything to eat." "I regret, Mark," said Frank, with cool sarcasm, "that you should be inconvenienced about your meals.

Perhaps you will excuse it, as my poor mother is so sick that she requires extra attention from the servants.
Deborah, if possible, don't let Mark wait much longer.
