The battle of the grandmothers had commenced! Mrs. Delacour turned to glare at Mrs. Turpin, someone she had held a grudge against seemingly forever. What that grudge was had never been said, but she hadn't been pleased when both her daughters married Turpins. The disgrace!
"Eef she does not want to come down, zen zere ees a reason. I am guessing your daughter did something...no surprise since she ees an awful wife who almost killed my daughter vith her stupidity and lack of love."
Fleur stiffened, thinking that she probably shouldn't have told her mother about how Lisa had abandoned Gabrielle. Her little sister had almost died! It seemed proper to inform their mother of her youngest daughter's near death.
