Dad hugged me. ‘You clever girl,’ he said.‘You’re amazing, Eva!’ said Joey.It didn’t seem right to argue with them.‘What’s going to happen to Henry Eades now?’ I asked. ‘It’s looking like he’s the one who stole the chalice. Is he going to get into trouble for it?’‘I don’t think so,’ said Mum. ‘It was so long ago, and most of the potential witnesses are probably dead. And since the chalice was never found, there’s unlikely to be any new evidence.’ ‘And besides,’ said Dad. ‘Even if the chalice was found, and there was evidence pointing to Henry, he’d never be sent to jail for something that he did while he was suffering from a war-related trauma. Mental illness is better understood these days. The poor man would get help, not punishment.’‘So it’s all good?’ I asked.They both smiled at me. ‘Yes,’ said Mum. ‘There’s probably a lot of paperwork to be done somewhere, but I figure that, before too long, Daisy’s dad will get a posthumous pardon.’‘What’s “posthumous”?’ asked Joey.
