"‘Well she simply said that she’d been receiving money from her mother - I can’t think of anything else she said - and at that point I got really mad and spoke loudly - I was asking her why on earth Edie would give her money - and that’s when she told me to be quiet. She said "Hush."

There was a pause - then they both said together,

‘Hush money!’

‘This gets worse,’ said Fraser. ‘I simply can’t imagine why Edie should have to pay Joanna to keep her quiet - whatever can she have to hide? And how could Joanna possibly do that to her mother?’

‘I’ll look in the other drawers,’ Angela said, feeling it was time they moved on. She looked in the drawer with official papers. She could see no sign of a will among the papers, but there were several certificates. Edie had taken classes at Adult Learning Centres, and gained Certificates for completing courses on various subjects, mostly to do with Art, including Dutch artists, and there was also a cookery certificate.
