Chapter 37 Summary: “Jessica”

The sisters return to the pub, and Norah immediately engages the bartender in further conversation. Detectives Patel and Hando are there, and they agree not to ask any questions about the case on the instructions of the sisters’ lawyer. Detective Patel asks the sisters why they never had any children, but the sisters evade the question because they worry that admitting their lack of desire for children would place them in a suspicious light, given the accusations against them.

Just as the sisters and the detectives find a table, Miss Fairchild enters the pub. A furious Norah confronts Miss Fairchild, who defensively puts the blame back on the sisters. Alicia and Jessica restrain Norah and pull her away from Miss Fairchild, who demands that the cops arrest Norah for assault.
