I am asking you something, Edwin. From where these medicines came?" Theodora demanded again.
Edwin could sense the drama that was bound to happen. He wanted to avoid it, but when it came to his aunt, she always found her way with what she wanted.
"Mrs Payne gave them with Ruth." He answered truthfully and hoped his aunt would quit then and there.
But he had just paved the further way for her intentions.
"Mrs Payne? That old lady?" Theodora said as if she was speaking about something very useless and worthless.
"My Lady, I have heard that she has a good knowledge of medicines and herbs." Fannie quipped in.
The fact was she just wanted to get Edwin's attention and nothing else.
