"You aren't actually working hard, though.If you were, you would've investigated all the guests’ backgrounds beforehand and targeted other people.Consider this—you arrived in appropriate clothing and successfully impersonated a hostess.Since you’ve researched so much about hostesses, it’s unlikely for you not to look up information on the attendees tonight.Thus, I can go as far as to say you’re causing me trouble now because you found out the Gillettes and I are on bad terms.That’s what led you to act the way you did toward me."
