The young woman had clearly been distracted for some time- since leaving the breakfast table, in fact.
When she had stood up from the table, a canny observer might have seen the small holster clipped to the waist of her skirt- to most of this group, it looked like a toy. She had retrieved a dark colored hat and a black frock coat from the hallway on the way out to the carriage.
It looked for all the world as if she spent most of the trip with her eyes closed- it was almost as if she was listening to something. Even during the first part of the interview she sat quietly and said nothing. Finally, though, her eyes snapped open and she looked at their hostess.
"Three weeks is quite a time- there won't be traces here now. You would have noticed." She paused and blinked her eyes quickly. "Since she passed, 'as there been anything strange what's 'appened 'ere in the building? Or anyone who 'as stopped by unexpected like, asking any odd questions? Like one of you mother's friends? Anything else just strange?"
