Blisters.
Yes, blisters.
The blisters got there when Mrs. Avery wielded the axe to fell a tree on top of her son so his death would look accidental.

That's right, Vance.
We did feel that way.
Very well.
I leave you with an officer of the law, your own sheriff, and a confessed murderer, Mrs. Avery.
I'm sure you'll see to it that justice, whatever it may be, is served.
Come on, Markham.

Well, every time I saw Mrs. Avery, she was wearing gloves.
No matter what the occasion or lack of occasion, she wore gloves.
She had also promised to show Doris how to crochet, but she postponed the instructions.
Why?
Yes, that's true.
She did have strong hands.
