The notion that there might be something amiss with
Vangie
(rather than just with her cat) galvanized Marion into
coming and
standing by Marjorie.
"Vangie?" she called down the stairs. "What's
happened?"
Nicola spotted the two women calling to Vangie and
rolled her eyes heavenward. "You'd better remember
this come Judgment Day," she informed the ceiling
through gritted teeth. She strolled over towards the
stairs and started walking down them, passing Marjorie
and Marion. Halfway down, she turned and said, "Well,
for heaven's sake, if you're so concerned, then follow
me, ladies." She continued her walk down the stairs
and called, "Mrs. Evans! We're coming in now,
darling." She reached for the door handle.
