“My grandmother talked about Lady Violet to my father her whole life. He knew her, I think, before she died, but there were all these things that happened right then—it’s sort of confusing.” “What things?” “Not sure of the order—he could tell you—but my aunt, his sister, disappeared. My grandmother was still alive then, but I don’t remember if your grandmother was or not. You’ll have to ask my dad.” I narrowed my eyes. “The sister never came back?” He lifted a shoulder. “No. They never found her. She was only fifteen.” “That’s very sad.”
