And here I have to wonder if it was "just one of those things" or if
her death might not have been helped along. Isn't it possible that
someone knew who her son would become? Could Sybll Trelawny have been
alive then (though young) and made THAT prediction? Perhaps there was
a bungled attempt to kill Tom and his mother got it instead.
