Frank didn't look like what you'd expect; for he was short and mild looking, not the tyrant that Edie made him out to be.
Edie introduced him to Betty and Susan. This was the first time Susan saw her grandfather since she was a baby. She didn't know him nor did he know her. He shook her hand politely.
"Yes, this was good old dad. Cold, old dad. Shake hands with his granddaughter. Oh, he has a gift for her. A box of maple candies. How nice. He was in Vermont. I wish we would get this business over with," Edie thought as she smiled her half of a smile when she was bored.
"Give your grandfather a hug for the candy, Susan."
"I found a hotel for you and Susan for the next few days until we can find out what we are going to do with you two," Frank said, patting Susan's head firmly while he was looking at Edie with steel cold eyes. He hadn't changed. But Edie had. She was no longer afraid of him.
