She said she has heard Wallis’s shrieks when she witnessed the process.” She then glanced at Grace with a careful look before she continued. “Wallis was pressed under the men and she was bawling something like ‘Grace James! It’s you! You’re the one that did this to me! I curse you to die

“I’m fine…don’t touch me. Let me laugh for a while.” She resisted the hand extended by Mrs. James and covered her tummy. She laughed until her tears were out. “Grace…Grace…Don’t laugh anymore, don’t…” Mrs. James panicked from her laughter and kept
