Neither Brian nor Laura remembered much of the hours after that. If they hoped that had broken Edna’s silence permanently, they soon found they were wrong. Edna was just as silent as ever the next morning, Sunday, though she did smile a little as if nothing happened.
Brian went to work on Monday as usual, and when he came home, Laura told him that Edna had been unusually busy all day. She had also been silent.
