Chapter 64

• “Pardon me for saying this,” Anna shifted in her seat, “but when Kathy was poisoned at the party, she didn’t look the least bit shocked when she saw her pass out. I didn’t want to think anything of it it, but it’s possible it might be her who poisoned the soup. Jack was so insistent on trying to force me to blame it all on you. It made sense to me after I heard the story from Lady Katherine.
• “If I may make a bold guess. I would say it was her out of the rest of your family you told. I’m not sure how Kathy is doing, but I hope she’s alright by now. The portion she took shouldn’t have been enough to be lethal.”
