Interesting, although it doesn't shed as much light as I'd hoped. But you're probably right that it was a good idea to have Evelyn approach her. Maybe it's just that I'm suffering from the standard male bafflement at understanding how the female mind works. (Actually, I've been feeling that pretty strongly lately.) I'll talk to Mum.
I don't quite know what to suggest, other than to watch her. Except...bugger, that might feed right into that paranoia. Well, I trust you two to be subtle about it. Just do all you can do to signal to her that she's still part of the family, yeah? And let me know if you find out anything more.
Have you talked to her again, now that this stupid punishment is over? How did that go? Is she willing to hold a conversation with you?
