Isolde’s medicine was considered a “bonus meal,” so it wasn’t like anyone cared for Prudence at all.

Money was tight for Priscilla and her daughters. Nicole didn’t mind so much, but Martha was throwing a fit. She was used to living high on the hog, but today, she saw a bracelet she liked in a shop–cost more than 100 thousand..
