All In The Family

The Witch says she is exhausted playing nursemaid.
There are two sick men under her roof, her Dad and her brother-in-law.
Her sister just had a baby, and could not come visit, but her husband came alone to visit for a week.
Her Dad is also visiting from out of town.
Since the Witch's husband was away at work, her Dad and her BIL asked her to drop them off downtown and they would explore the city on their own.
They came home a little drunk that night but now, 3 days later, both are covered in unsightly sores.
The doctor has prescribed penicillin.
She says she hates staying home all day caring for them while they both discuss Rohini, her maid.
It's like she, while being daughter and SIL, has become invisible.
Her own Dad and her own BIL no longer even see her.
They only have eyes and ears for Rohini.
"It's like Rohini owns the place and not me. I wish I could kill them all," says the Witch.
But the Witch is worried she'll have to cook if the maid gets sick or dies,
so she gives Rohini some of the penicillin every day as a preventative she says.
