Ross raised an eyebrow to express his interest in what Mrs. Embry said without making too much of an expression. "I am to understand that the painting will see everything that happens in my office," Ross said. It would hang in his office and observe his meetings; that meant that he would be unable to use his office for any of the meetings he wanted kept quiet. This would make things more difficult for himself, and for Miss Binns, and was perhaps why he'd put off the task of the portrait for so long.

"Is that correct?"
