She carried a silver teapot out, her hands shaking as she poured the tea into the cups for her sister and her three guests—the German sisters, Mary and Emma Schultz, and Edgar Rinehold, Janna's late husband's brother. It was a strange mix, but Johanna wasn't about to comment on it. “Do be careful. You almost scalded me with the tea,” Mary spat. “Can’t you get better help than this, Janna?” “Yes, what happened to the last maid?” Emma asked. “Give the girl a chance.” Edgar winked. It was apparent none of them knew who she even was. Did she really look so different dressed as a maid? Then again, she hadn’t been around them since she came to stay with her sister. Sure, Johanna had peered at them from the top of the stairs, but that was much different than being introduced to them properly. She had met Edgar once, but that was five years before, after Janna married Frank. She wasn’t sure how long Edgar had visited, but it was hardly appropriate to visit the widow of his brother, surely.
