"has", no, not now.  "Had", most certainly.  My memory is uncertain here, and I don't
think it was Cora, anyway.  But whoever it was got herself in charge of fixing up CT

it up.  The less naive amongst us might even suspect she made a little bit in the
process.

Marion and Cora are history.   Do they really have anything to say about anything?
