Laura burst out laughing. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year. Trent, you’re divorcedwhy on earth should Quinn take it?

Sidonie interjected calmly. Even after a divorce, Mrs. Grafton is still a senior. Quinn, you shouldn’t argue with your elders. If it were me, I’d endure iteven if she slapped me.”

Penelope’s mood brightened at once. Sidonie, you’re nothing like Quinn. I could never bring myself to raise a hand against you.”
