I thought at first you were like your mother. I admit I was wrong. You are intelligent. You’ve examined all the facts you could find, then you worked out the truth. You’d have made a first class detective. I mean that sincerely, Eden. I’m impressed.’

‘I can also deduce that you don’t like my mother. That you think she’s silly.’
