James, however, seemed more intent on conveying a message than causing harm. "I just want to warn you that all is not as it seems in these parties," he said urgently. "Be careful of strange connections."Beatrice, still frustrated and bewildered, yanked her arm away from him and headed toward the toilet, muttering to herself.
