Mwaha! I have caught up!

Flogging always gives me the creeps, so now Thomas is exceptionally creepy. ...Is he checking out his sister? More creep points for him. Also, the slitting of throats. I was just surprised with Thomas, but I'm still thinking Judah has to be innocent of that. Or if he did it, he had a reason...? Or he didn't do it at all. The kids, is that what Justin was talking about when they were talking about how Thomas would eventually get caught?

"Oh," she shrugged, raising her hand up to dismiss him. "I had just come in to get the children some lemonade when I heard them."

Pft. What lies. And it wasn't even something worth lying about. Right? Odd people, these Browns. Are they so certain they should be in charge of a bunch of children?

His eyes inevitably drifted to Molly, who had wandered into the yard and was bent over Ariel's stone collection, doubtless being told each of their names and God's purpose for them.

Thought that bit with Ariel was cute, though. ^^
