A house divided (5)

"Okay," Regina replied only to not argue with Minnie right now. Nothing is going to convince the woman that the affair did indeed happen but she just didn't want to admit she entertained her butler.

Minnie stood up finished with the conversation even though she was the one who brought everyone down to the dining table. She was thankful she raised her son right because he had not believed the news for a second. The others at the table were questionable because she believed one of them did this. The only question was how did they find out? "I will be having breakfast in my room. Find a way to entertain yourselves until you are granted permission to leave. The house is big enough that you shouldn't bore yourself so easily."
