Jaylene Ziel worried about encountering Ethan Thompson when she went downstairs, and she worried even more that Ethan would ask where they were heading for the May 1st holiday, as it would be a time when every place was packed with crowds.
But as it turned out, her worries were unnecessary. When she came downstairs, she not only did not see Ethan, who had returned last night, but Old Madam Thompson, Sophia Wilson, wasn't in the courtyard either.
"It's a holiday today, and the young miss has taken the Old Madam away. It seems like she mentioned taking her for morning tea," Aunt Tara explained to Jaylene: "The young miss's car came over early in the morning."
The young miss Aunt Tara mentioned was Joseph's Aunt, Evone Thompson. Presumably, she also knew about Bella White's wedding today and was concerned it might upset the Old Madam, so she specifically came to take the Old Madam away.
