Ella had gone by the time my parents got back. “Did you girls have a good time? Trudie left no notes of complaint, so you can’t have been any trouble.”

In her sugary voice, Sonia said, “We had a lovely time, Aunt Jennie, didn’t we, Dee Dee?”

I wondered why she wasn’t telling Mom how Ella and I had kind of left her out.

“That’s good to hear. I thought you might find Ella a little rough. Now, I think I’ll go and change.” Mom was upstairs for only a minute before she came running back down, shouting and shaking with anger.

“How dare you? You girls have been in my room, going through my things!”

Dad said, “Calm down, Jennie. I’m sure there’s an explanation.”

Mom ignored him. “And if that’s not bad enough, you’ve poured perfume and powder all over my new satin comforter. It’s ruined! Who did this?”

I started to explain but Sonia interrupted, her voice low and steady, “It must have been Ella. She was up there a while by herself when Trudie called Dee Dee and me to help lay the table for lunch.”

I couldn’t help it. I burst into tears. “That’s not true! It was Sonia who was up there alone!”

“Delia, stop making that dreadful noise,” Mom said, staring at me. “I know Sonia well enough to know that she wouldn’t do anything like this, but Ella – she’s wild….”

“Mom, please listen.”

“No, I’ve heard enough lies from you about Sonia. Just go to your room.” She didn’t see the sideways look that Sonia gave me as I stood and headed upstairs.
