Character cases:
Ch. 6 - arrives at the brownstone unannounced after her mother (Ellen Barstow) offers $50,000 for information about Peter Barstow's murder. Archie observes her eyes were heavy from tiredness and crying, but her voice had sense in it.
Ch. 7 - asks Wolfe to disregard her mother's offer to find Peter Barstow's killer; during the request, she accidentally implies Wolfe is a bloodhound, but Wolfe is not offended. Wolfe (after deducing from her request that Barstow wants to protect someone) offers to find her father's killer (and earn the $50,000) but NOT disclose it to authorities if she does not wish it. Sarah leaves to think about the offer.
Ch. 8 - receives Archie at the Barstow estate after implicitly accepting Wolfe's offer to find her father's murderer.

Ch. 17 - tells Archie about the $10 bill with her signature on it in Anna Fiore's package of evidence against Manuel Kimball - it was Kimball's winnings from a tennis match with the Barstows; Kimball accidentally gave it to Carlo Maffei in payment for his work on the needle-shooting driver.
