‘I’m afraid all this talk of painting my aunt with the Chalice has given you a wrong impression. There were always two of the servants there at the time — Branch and someone else — and the relic was returned to its place and the doors locked after each sitting. There are three rooms up there over the chapel,’ she went on, ‘the Maid of the Cup’s private apartments in the old days. Aunt had the big room as a sort of studio, but the two small ones are the bedrooms of the two men who have charge of this garden and the chapel building. There’s an outside staircase to the first storey.’
