Now, she fears that someone in the household is poisoning Birtwhistle to keep him ill and Sybil writing the better-paying versions.
When he took ill, though, Sybil took over writing them while he recovered, only to see the sales increase.

Suspecting that something is seriously amiss, Sybil has asked Daisy to discretely investigate.
