I turned to my brother, who was morosely churning out the weekly pack of lies to our father. ‘Will, what would make you happiest in the whole wide world?’ He didn’t hesitate. ‘For Frozen Billy to fall under the wheels of a carriage and be broken in pieces.’ I clapped my hand over his mouth. ‘Ssssh, Will!’ He tugged away. ‘Oh, come on, Clarrie. Uncle Len won’t be listening. He’ll be dead to the world – again.’ I knew he was right because only a few minutes earlier I’d pushed the bedroom door ope...n a crack. I was sliding in the boots that he’d left by the fender because I so hated it when he woke with a sore head, and started his fretful shouting. ‘Clarrie, girl! Where are my stage boots?’ That always set Will scoffing. ‘Stage boots!’ And it was true that they were just a plain pair of hefty black lace-ups (though I could make them shine as if they’d been freshly lifted out of a shopfront display). They were nothing to compare with Will’s perfectly round-toed shoes with intricate patterns of tiny holes, made especially to match the wooden ones carved on the feet of Frozen Billy.MoreLess
