Meg sat in her chair and looked into the dwindling fire. She couldn’t help but feel her stomach churning with anguish. Had she done right? She’d built the bakery up in Ted’s absence but she had also made sure that her family had benefitted from her work.

Her mother was right: Ted was an awkward old stick; he could cut up funny about the things that she had been up to. She breathed in and calmed herself. It would be all right, she said to herself, he had made good money in his absence and all was accounted for. He couldn’t say anything about the bit of food she’d been bringing home because he’d never know, and besides, she deserved it after all the time and hours she had put into his bakery. She had, after all, just taken her agreed-to wage out of the takings and he could see she had on the accounts that she had been making in her own notebook. Tomorrow she would go and settle the monthly account at Dinsdale’s and then whatever money was left in the safe was Ted’s.

He should be impressed, she thought, and just hoped that she would be right.
