The housekeeper whom my mother-in-law hired began working by the next morning. Her name was Victoria Lowe, who was a woman of short stature with a round face and fair skin. While her eyes weren’t big, they seemed shrewd. It was never my habit to observe anyone, but I became more wary of people after being betrayed by Jolene and the Boyers.
Victoria arrived early in the morning to prepare breakfast. True to what my mother-in-law said, she was good at cooking, as she managed to put into consideration everybody’s tastes during breakfast.
