Robert finally found Maggie sitting in a corner with another woman who was wringing her hands in despair. He and Suzanne stood discreetly to the side as Maggie assured the woman she was not at fault for something.

“I hope you’re right,” the woman told Maggie. “I’ll never forgive myself if I caused that baby’s death.”

The woman glanced up, and when she saw Robert and Suzanne, she hopped to her feet.

“It was an accident,” Maggie said. “You just happened to be there to witness it.”

Relieved, the woman thanked Maggie and bustled away without even introducing herself.

“Hello, kiddos,” Maggie said when the woman was gone. “Have you been enjoying the sights?”

“Who was that?” Robert asked.

“Oh, that’s Brenda Fields. She hangs out with her son and daughter-in-law most of the time. She caught the daughter-in-law cheating on her son, and got a bit miffed. For the past two months, she’s been trying to harass the wife. Finally, a couple days ago, the wife took a tumble down the stairs. Brenda thinks she caused the fall. And to make matters worse, the wife miscarried on her way to the emergency room. Brenda didn’t know she was pregnant. I don’t think any of them did.”

“How awful,” Suzanne said.

“She’s feeling incredibly guilty about the whole thing.”

“Do you think she did cause the wife to fall?” Suzanne asked.

“I really doubt it,” Maggie said. “But even if she did, what’s the point in making her feel bad? Nothing can be done now.”

“Famous last words,” Robert mumbled.
