: Drats...missed that one! However, I'm not sure Alice would've been too quick on the uptake by that point. As you say, she was more or less in a state of shock. Perhaps it would have been more merciful if she hadn't realized the implications of Hawkeye's words.
: ..Jeri
It is entirely possible that she would have been oblivious, Jeri. I've always thought she was one feather shy of a warbonnet by that time, anyway! (If you've read any of the old archived posts, you may have come across Miss Marcia's breakfast menu, which included Coddled Eggs a la Alice, served with the yolks staring blankly about!) But I do believe we are supposed to assume that she knows by then, else wouldn't Cora have hissed, "NATHANIEL!! I TOLD you to say NOTHING to Alice!!!"???
hehe...can't you just see her scolding him at that point?
