WHEN JAMES ENTERED THE BREAKFAST ROOM THAT MORNING, it was to varied reactions. Those who hadn 't known that he'd arrived started cheerful greetings that sputtered to an end as they got a good look at his face. Those who did know of his arrival and what subsequently followed it were either tactfully silent, grinning from ear to ear, or foolish enough to remark on it.
Jeremy fell into the middle and latter categories when he said with a chukle, "Well, I know the poor Chrismas tree didn't do that to you, though you did try valiantly to chop it down to size."

My question is: whether 'Jeremy fell into the middle and latter categories' means that Jeremy was the one who did know of James's arrival and what Jeremy subsequently did was foolish enough to remark on it? Thank you for your help!
Sincerely
