What it sounds like
You have acted unwisely.
What it really means
“You were reckless to keep risking your safety, and I don’t trust your judgment about protecting yourself.”
Said today
“You weren’t careful—you were being reckless.”
What was happening
Penelope insists she has been careful while living a secret double life. Colin dismisses that reassurance with a blunt judgment, then asks what good he is to her if she can take care of herself.
