Chapter 28

After Megan had left, Alice sat disconsolately in the kitchen, her mind consumed by thoughts of death. Her eyes fell on the pile of old letters, which she had almost finished reading on Saturday night. She had reached June twenty-fourth 1916, barely a week before the big battle and, presumably, Danny’s last day on earth, and had been putting off reading the last few, afraid of how depressed they would make her. Now, after the news she had received that morning, she felt ready to pick them up.

‘I’m sad enough as it is, Danny.’ She often found herself talking to the dog these days. ‘I can’t feel any worse.’

He stood up, stretched and then settled back in his basket with a heartfelt sigh. Alice picked up the three remaining letters and began reading them with a heavy heart. The penultimate one told of the earth-shattering barrage that was being brought to bear on the German trenches.
