“Read it, Shannon. It’s bad. Velena left Saint Albans on the first. She was well enough to travel by private car. She didn’t arrive in Vergennes until the fourth, and then in poor health. Where was she for three days? Did Brad Hoague, the lawyer, deliver her, or did she arrive in a taxi, or an ambulance? Did Brad Hoague, the nephew, visit her everyday like he said he was going to? Is his mother her sister? How do we figure that out?”
