Jennie approaches me two days later, and tells me some interesting news.
"Angela, I don't think that Madame LeFoux killed Hattie." It's quite outlandish, as Madame LeFoux clearly had the motive to kill poor Hattie. Her daughter had been killed under a then-teenaged Hattie's watch. It's evident that Madame casts the blame of the loss of her family on the maid.
"Jennie, why would you say that?" I ask, "It's obvious Madame had a very strong motive."
Jennie nods somberly and then informs me,
"In her daily planner, on the evening of Hattie's murder she was in a meeting with five teachers. The meeting went from 8:00 until 10:00 at night..."
"Which is the exact time frame in which Hattie was killed." I finish, "Which means Madame LeFoux is innocent, because she cannot be in two places at the same time."
"Exactly." Jennie agrees.
"Jennie, I must go to the newspaper archives. I believe that Penelope may be hiding something. Lately, she refuses to speak of the case and avoids me at all costs."
