Hearing this, he said uncomfortably, "There's no coffee at home. I learned to brew coffee with Uncle Harris this afternoon, and used up all the coffee beans."
He had been waiting for Enna Clark all afternoon but she never came back. Plus, Baron Lawrence left him halfway. Bored at home alone, he kept pondering how to get back at them.
After thinking it over, he remembered that Baron Lawrence likes to drink coffee, so he deliberately asked Scott Harris to teach him to brew coffee, then wasted all the coffee beans in the house.
He just wanted to see the look on the Dubious Man's face when he couldn't find any coffee to drink. Who would have thought the Dubious Man would suggest a barbecue and remember that he likes beef? Now, as he's saying this, he doesn't even have the satisfaction of pulling off a prank. Instead, he feels like he did something wrong.
