“I wish I could kill every one of ’em.”

No one shushed Caroline or scolded her vengeful sentiments the following evening as we sat, spirits downcast, at the communal table.

“They had no business whipping her that way! What’s Doll ’posed to tell her grandchild when it’s big enough to get to asking questions and wanting answers?”

“The truth,” Cook solemnly responded. “That his mother was murdered.”

That increased the heavy pall already shrouding us.

As if the beatings weren’t horrific enough, Mathilda’s going into early labor soon after and bleeding out her life in the birthing cabin was enough to send our souls into a molten abyss.

“If Old Mama Lodie can’t fix that child, Doll won’t have no need to tell her grandson nothing.”

Caroline nodded in agreement with the scullery maid’s opinion. “Sukey aided the birth and says he ain’t but big as a kitten. Guess ain’t a thing we can do but pray his strength in the Almighty.”

Prayers were answered in a peculiar way when that tiny baby decided it didn’t want to walk this earth without its mother and slipped away to heaven early the next morning.
