Angel of Ruin (2001)
“Your sister is well again.” Mary eyed Liza warily. “What do you mean?”
“Come down and see her. She sits up and speaks perfect sanely, she eats and she has asked for you.”
Mary threw back the bed covers and approached Liza in puzzlement. “What, overnight?”
“Yes, she has woke recovered.”
Mary saw Deborah idling near the entrance to her closet, watching the proceedings with curiosity.
“I shall come and see her anon,” Mary said. “Tell her I shall be with her as soon as I have dressed.”
Liza backed ...out and Mary pulled open her chest of drawers to find clothes.
“Miraculously recovered?” Deborah said.
“Yes, no thanks to you.”
“I should have wished upon her another year of suffering, and two years for you.”
Mary did not answer. She dressed hurriedly and went downstairs. Anne sat up in bed, eating leftover soup. She smiled when Mary came in.
“Sister, I am eager to speak with you. Go, Liza. Mary and I need privacy.”
Liza took Anne’s empty bowl and left them alone.MoreLess
