Adelia was completely unable to corner Charlotte alone at any point the next day and she knew that she was engaged in an unspoken game of cat and mouse with her own treacherous daughter. She was appalled, saddened and angry to varying degrees, the emotions fluctuating every time she caught a glimpse of Charlotte. Charlotte spent the morning in her rooms with a maid ever-present. Adelia gave up trying to speak with her. As she angrily stormed back to her room, she bumped into Theodore who was dressed for going out.

He saw her face and said, “You look like you want to scream.”

“I do. How did I raise such an obstinate and ungrateful daughter? Such a scheming, secretive, stubborn piece of work.”

“I have no idea,” he said, rather too mildly, and she glared hard at him.

“What?” he asked, innocently. “Anyway, what has she done now? Is she feeling better?”

“Of course she is. There was nothing wrong with her last night. Where are you going?”

“I intend to get to Dulwich Picture Gallery.”

“Why? The last attempt was abortive and what exactly do you hope to learn anyway?”

“Robert has told me of his friend who is the main curator there, and I want to ask him about Digby Nettles.”

“We must be careful not to incriminate Robert any further with our questioning,” she said.

“We?”

She glared at him a little longer. He sighed. “Very well. You must come too. I will wait here while you dress for a journey.”
