Christopher Robinson had the temperament of a stone fished out of a cesspit - dense and repugnant, unaffected by trifling matters.
And Amelia Cobb?
She was every bit the same, if not worse.
The issue about Madeline Carter seemed to be an unresolved puzzle.
It was difficult to pry open the mouths of these two.
That evening, Annie Sutton left the Orchard Garden.
She looked at Christopher and reproached him seriously, "In life, people don't accumulate possessions along the way, they lose certain things. I hope you won't end up like your grandfather, regretting. Christopher, we all make mistakes in life, you can't treat your mother with your business mindset, it's unfair for her."
"When she carried out those filthy deeds, she never considered whether it was fair to me or not. Don't do unto others what you don't want to be done unto you."
No matter what Annie Sutton said, Christopher always seemed to rebut her with facts easily.
