SIR BLANDAMOUR (As the old woman serves Eliza's tea, he is jarred to see the hand that holds the saucer. Unlike the other, it is smooth, young, and has sharply pointed nails. He has a moment of cognitive dissonance, refusing to believe his eyes, then snaps back to reality. He dashes the tea from the "old woman's" hand, splattering it over the wall, and whips out Cold Iron, which snakes to the "old woman's" throat.) "Treachery! Disguise! Do not touch the food, anyone." (He holds up the difering hand as evidence.)
