Violet could hardly breathe; her chest was heaving with a deep emotion close to the panic she felt as her mother died. This young man, who had loved her mother, and her grandmother, was speaking to her from his grave. She felt the cool hand of Nell Arrowsmith on her arm, offering what comfort she could.

‘Why didn’t my mother keep the letter?’

‘She gave everything to Hannah when she left. It was a clean break for her and a commitment to Ellis.’

‘I don’t understand why she married Pop.’

‘You will one day.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘It’s more than I can say. It’s not for me, only Ellis can tell you that.’

‘Please, Mrs Arrowsmith, if you know something, tell me. Pop’ll never talk.’

‘I’m sorry, Violet, I really am. Please don’t ask me.’

‘Then why did you show me this?’

‘It was an important part of your mother’s life.’

‘Why do you think she didn’t tell us about it?’

‘To spare Ellis his feelings.’

‘He doesn’t have any feelings!’

‘Oh, he does, Violet, I’m sure you will find that he does.’
