And Catherine can hold only bottom left and bottom right positions
Now, from analysis, Dianna and the bottom right positions share the chemist and doctor amongst themselves.
So, bottom left position is the author
The doctor is not Bena
Since Doctor shied away from speaking about Bena, we assume that Dianna is not the doctor as she was speaking to her neighbour freely
So, from analysis, the above table is formed
