As much as it irritated her that he had dismissed her plans as trivial, she couldn't help but to observe the way he had locked the door behind him. Was that to keep the staff out or her in? Her confusion dissipated when he mentioned their daughter, however. Now it seemed clear to her what this was about. Obviously one of them had died from something and the back up was now needed. Why he needed to drag her into it she couldn't say unless he just wanted to inconvenience her, but it shouldn't be long before this was cleared up and she was in India. Had she mentioned that part to him? That'd be awkward if she arrived at the event only to immediately drop dead.
"I thought she'd last at least a little bit longer but that's that I guess. Aren't you glad I talked you into keeping both? Now I don't have to change my plans and no one has to go into mourning." Was he making a big deal out of it because he thought she'd be upset or was there something else? "It didn't happen in front of the servants did it?" Tig was imagining a gruesome stair-related incident or something else sudden and unexpected. At least she didn't recall anyone telling her the child was ill.
