Mina leaves her parents to their disturbing conversation and heads up the stairs to the little cupboard just before the wash room. It mainly holds linens, but on the top shelves are medicines, and there she finds what she hoped for, a jar of dried feverfew leaves. She takes it and goes upstairs to huddle under her bedclothes, waiting for night to fall so she can sneak back out and bring the medicine to Inric. She stares at the jar, trying to remember how long ago it was last used. "I hope this still works," she mumbles to herself.
