"An injustice has occurred. It's time to right some wrongs." I pulled out the newspaper "You want a culprit, find the motive." I passed it to Tewksbury"I don't understand." Tewksbury said
"When were you due to being inducted into the Lords?" I asked
"Imminently." he replied"How would you have voted on the bill?"
"The same as my father. I'd be for it.""Who knew that?" I asked "And who stands to gain the estate with your father dead and if you die?"

"what?" Briggs asked
"I think it's your grandma's doing" Tewksbury gasped
"my grandma! you've really gone mad!"
"Tewksbury listen! when Enola and I were at the Tewksbury Residence, your grandma wouldn't stop talking about you being a new thinker and being like your father. and she was red the whole time! I know its her and now I just need to prove it" Tewksbury shook his head

"she's played the part perfectly." Enola added "I think Jo is right"
"Doesn't it make sense?" I asked.

"Why would we want to attract the bloody sharks?" Briggs asked in a laughing but scared tone"Good point."
