Chapter 3. Good Charlotte

Vie spent the morning in the house gardens with Nain Joan.

As they worked together Vie asked about Finns' parents

decision to live apart.

"Other than accepting it, Innis had no say in the matter.

It was all Finns' Mothers' doing - the uppity bitch."

Surprised by her tone, Vie apologised for prying.

"I didn't mean to be curt Vie." Nain Joan said.

"I have developed a deep and abiding dislike for Miriam.

As soon as Finn and his sisters where settled in and

studying at University, she decided to pursue her political

career without the hindrance of a marriage or children."

Nain Joan put a ladder against a rose arbour and got Vie

to steady it as she climbed.

"Finn and the girls sometimes come back to visit us during

the holidays, but not Miriam, she hasn't set a foot in the house

in the last four years."

Vie handed a pair of pruning shears up to Nain Joan.

"It's funny you asked Vie, Charlotte is coming to stay."

Finn had older twin sisters - Beatrice and Charlotte.
