“Oh, Fanny, how beautiful your sons are. They look like little cherubs.” Billie patted her stomach. “I’m hoping for a boy this time, but it feels like a girl. Seth wants a boy so bad. I think part of it is if Moss . . . if Moss doesn’t make it back . . . there will be a son to carry on the name. I honestly think if this child turns out to be another girl, he’s going to want to give it back. I never saw such desperation. I wish I was back in Philadelphia. He’s so . . . so controlling, and Moss always took his side. They treat me like . . . I’m slow-witted. My mother, too. She’s aligned herself with Seth. I hate to say this about my own mother, but she’s on their side. It’s all that money. She really thinks she belongs and Seth allows her to think like that. I’m an outsider, Fanny. I’m always going to be an outsider, unless I produce an heir to the Coleman dynasty, in which case they might let me stand on the porch and look through the window. Women simply don’t count for anything in that family.”

Fanny leaned over the crib Maggie was sleeping in. “Not even this sweet little thing?”

“Seth ignores her. My own mother goes into the nursery once a week or so. She’s turned into Seth’s right hand. She’s got a certain amount of control, and she loves it. She’s not going to jeopardize that position. Now do you understand what I meant when I said I have no one?”

Fanny put her arms around Billie’s shoulders. “You have me and Sallie. If there’s a way to put it right, she’ll know how to do it. Why didn’t Amelia come with you?”

“Seth wouldn’t allow it. She’s here from England with her stepson. He’s the sweetest little boy, and she loves him dearly. Seth calls him a brat. He’s not. He’s quiet, well-mannered, and he adores Amelia. His father was killed. Seth says such cruel things to Amelia. He calls her a slut, a whore, and all because she stood up to him all her life. She wasn’t . . . loose. She told me she wasn’t, and I believe her. They hate each other. He said she couldn’t get a man in Texas, so she had to go to England to get one with a snotty kid. She drove a Red Cross ambulance. Seth said there was no room in the car because I’m so fat, and he wasn’t making the trip with a squalling kid. That was the end of it. I cried, Amelia cried, and he turned a deaf ear.”

“No, that isn’t the end of it. Wait right here. Don’t move!”

Fanny sprinted down the hall to the back stairway that led to the kitchen. “Fetch Miss Sallie back here right away,” she whispered to one of the cooks. “Tell her to come upstairs right away.”
