Harry fought back a wince. Of course he wouldn't be alone in a moment like this. He wasn't sure if it was better or worse that it was a lady who arrived to witness his embarrassment. Though, the question itself implied there was any outcome that would be favorable. At least she hadn't come closer?
Granted, the idea of admitting to being stuck was almost embarrassing as the thought of being stuck with someone else. "Er... Why-y-y-y..." he drew out the word, scrambling to think of something that would hopefully make her turn back. "...have they set up such a terrible selection of plants in this section? I'd turn back now, miss, it's a bit of a mess past this point. Not worth your attention."
