Old Mr. Quintin glanced up in curiosity. "Who was it then? Don't tell me it was Estelle?"

Evelyn shook her head. "No, it was Ms. Jarvis. Sylvia. Do you remember her?" His expression cooled a notch. "Her? She was invited too?"

"I think so. But before the celebration dinner was even over, Ms. Jarvis got into a fight with someone!" Evelyn sighed, a mix of amazement and disapproval in her voice.
