From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

“Trust me,” Karen patted Adah’s hand reassuringly. “I handpicked my future daughter–in–law. I can tell a genuine person from a charlatan.” She wasn’t born yesterday, after all.

Adah continued, “Where are you headed? I can have the chauffeur drive you.”

Karen waved the offer away. “No need, darling. I feel like taking a stroll.” Karen had developed a habit of disguising herself whenever she stepped out.
