And she very likely she was thinking, "How strange it is that I ever should have cared for another!
The brother and sister looked at each other, but neither spoke the awestricken thought that was in both their hearts.

Below she could hear the subdued voices of the men, and the creaking of the kitchen floor as Minerva walked to and fro, putting away the remnants of the coroner's repast.
