“Grandam, how are
you feeling today?”
“Much better,
thank you, Jason. Not nearly so tired
and worn.”
“What would you
like to do?”
“Well, I don’t
know. Do you have to work, today?”
“I work in the
afternoon and at night, at the bar. But
I’ve taken today off. I’ll have to work
tomorrow, though.”
“Work is good for
you … but surely you could contact …”
“… No. It was the money that … with Brent. I … if …”
He gulped. His eyes were shiny
with tears.
“It wasn’t just
the money my darling boy, you know that, so much more, but people like us have
a duty you know to make a difference …”
“…like mum does?”
“Oh your mother
…” Most unusually, Lucasta could think
of nothing to say. I don’t want to turn him against her but truly she is so silly and she
puts her children against her without trying and makes such a fuss about unimportant
things really I wish I could think of something to say to him poor dear boy so
much pain and no way to undo the damage.
In the end, she
kissed him on his cheek, and said, “Whatever you want to do, my dear boy. I am at your disposal.”
