"I do not understand why we left just moments after arriving, and neither one of you will speak. I am of a good age to know when there is drama amongst our family. Did grandmother say something about mother or father?" Isabelle asked.
"She did not, and you didn't need to leave with us. We wouldn't have felt betrayed, and we would have sent the carriage right back," said Lily.
"I came with you, so I shall leave with you. It is what we always do and I will not change it now. Fine," Isabelle said, giving up. "Keep your secrets. I do not like that you are twins. You keep far too many secrets from me."
"You also have secrets between you and Lily, do you not?" Penelope asked.
"I do not," Isabelle replied.
"Then what happened to the shoes Erin sent with the new dress?" Penelope asked, speaking about the dressmaker.
Isabelle bit her tongue. She had forgotten about the shoes she had taken. Only Lily knew the truth.
