Edwina could find no birth record for Sheila Dubin, nee Donovan. That could mean that Sheila had a different last name when she was born, and that the Donovans were not her birth parents. What if Helen Mann and Alan Sidebottom turned out to be Sheila’s birth parents, and had given her up for adoption? Did Sheila know it? Was it mere coincidence that Sheila had married a physicist and ended up at Cushing? What if Sheila didn’t know Helen and Alan were her birth parents? What if she unwittingly killed her own father in an act of revenge for humiliating Seth and ruining his chances for advancement? Then another thought occurred to her. She kept thinking about the night she overheard Donald Gaylord with a woman in his office at Sanborn House. She was just about positive it was Sheila Dubin. What if Donald found out Sheila killed Professor Sidebottom, in a rage after his cruel treatment at the party toward Seth? Could Sheila have possibly involved Donald in her crazy bid for revenge? She was pushy enough to talk him into it! Edwina could never figure out why kind and gentle Seth Dubin had married such an aggressive woman as Sheila in the first place. Edwina looked at the clock. It was almost lunchtime.
