Half an hour later, after a breakfast of fried bread dipped in egg and a mug of hot, sweet tea, Jo finally dragged herself upstairs to bed.

Opening the door to her old bedroom at the front of the house, she crept in to find that Billy’s clothes, having been retrieved from wherever her sister had hidden them, were now folded in a neat pile on the dressing table. Mattie herself was lying on her back, with her arms out of the covers and fast asleep.

Closing the door quietly, Jo kicked off her shoes and quickly got undressed. Pulling her suitcase from under the bed where she’d stored it earlier, she took out a clean nightdress and slipped it on. In the distance, fire-engine bells, no doubt from other areas, arrived to lend a hand.

Careful not to disturb her sister, Jo slipped under the covers, setting the springs creaking as they took her weight. She settled into the familiar moulds of the mattress. Mattie sighed and unconsciously she smoothed her fingers over the patchwork counterpane covering her swelling stomach.
