Harriet didn’t mince her words when she won the opportunity to speak directly to the traitors, who were hidden away in the church confessional.
“If my voice is shaking it is not through nerves, it’s through anger that you have taken me for such a fool,” she said.
“I think we all know that the gig is up for Rachel,” she went on, revealing she’d rumbled one of the traitors.
“I bet you wish you’d killed me when you had the chance,” the former barrister said before turning on her heel, one of her trademark scarves slung over her shoulder.
“She’s scaring the life out of me,” whispered Rachel in the confessional booth.
The following morning, Harriet commanded the breakfast room with similarly high drama.
“I was not going to allow a day of any further machinating and web-weaving around me because I’ve had enough,” she declared, before telling Rachel in front of everyone: “I’m onto you.”
“Where has this come from?” Rachel asked innocently.
“The benefit is to set the cat among the pigeons,” Harriet boomed in conclusion, leaving the rest of the diners speechless.
But, as with Fiona, the faithful perhaps felt the theatrics were too over the top, took Rachel’s side, and dumped Harriet.
