Summary of chapters 7 & 8 of the Frangipani House?

I'm sorry, this is a short-answer forum designed for text specific questions. We are unable to provide chapter summaries in this space. In short, Chapter Seven deals with Miss Tilly's funeral (viewing), as well as the revelation that Mama King has been physically abused by Danny (her dead husband).

In Chapter Eight, Mama King is deeply affected by her previous encounter with Ben, who brought up the physical abuse by her husband. Ben was a former suitor of Mama King's. Over the course of this chapter, Mama King deals with various memories of her past.
