For Edgar Norris, whether Nancy Norris truly has amnesia or is faking it is irrelevant. As long as she doesn't trouble him and occasionally helps out a bit, he can't be bothered to expose her.
However, the fact that Bertha Haines has gotten involved with Amos Smith really caught him off guard.
Knowing this girl is difficult to deal with, he devised two 'child-pleasing' strategies and even made a special trip to the film studio.
If you want help, you need to behave like you're asking for it.
So, even if Edgar was unwilling, he still waited until Bertha wrapped up her filming.
"Bertha."
Bertha had just finished filming and hadn't changed out of her costume. She glanced at the man in front of her, whose obsequious smile made her feel a bit nauseous.
She didn't need to ask; she already guessed the reason he came to see her.
"I can't help you."
