Fitcher's Brides (2002)
“Despite Vern’s apology, and Kate’s denials that they kept anything from her, Amy knew they were up to something. The matter of the ghost or whatever it was knocking in the walls was not done.
Lavinia had banished Vern to their room, which seemed not a very wise thing to do, given that it put her together with the ghost. After last night, Amy would never have stayed in that room by herself, even for a minute, even if it meant she had to sit on a stool in a corner, but she was sure Vern would use... the opportunity to talk to the spirit.
Her resentment festered even more when Lavinia told her, “You can prepare the dinner later, right now we’re going to make the candles.”
“But, Vern’s supposed to—”
“Vern has been sent to her room for her behavior. I’ve a like mind to send you, too, for your part in last night’s shenanigans, but your father convinced me otherwise, and I need someone to help me haul the spermaceti from the stove to the molds out back.”
“Kate isn’t—”MoreLess
