Chapter 19

When Grace returned to the house after using the telephone at the corner shop, it was to find her father slowly coming around, a little dazed and confused. She made him as comfortable as she could on the floor, having told him she had sent for their doctor. She then made a pot of weak tea for him, and feeling sick and headachy, settled down to wait beside him.

Half an hour later the doctor arrived, and it was only when he had inspected them both, did he demand answers to how they had come by their injuries. If it had only been herself who had a severely bruised hip, Grace might have said less for the sake of her aunt, but she was furious at the way Dougie had treated her father.

Immediately, the doctor became grim-faced and said this was a matter for the police, as it was assault. Of a sick man, to boot, he added in a disbelieving voice. He left the house, and told them he would call for an ambulance on the way to the police station, leaving orders that Norman must have an X-ray to check for further damage.
