“I put Liam to bed and read a story with Bridie. Daniel’s dinner was rapidly drying out in the oven, and still he didn’t come. In the end tiredness won out, and I got ready for bed. I was half asleep when I heard the front door shut quietly and then his footsteps creeping up the stairs.

One of the firemen remembered seeing Mabel carried away with a piece of paper clutched in her hand. I tried to look at the burned house, but I decided i...t was too dangerous for me to be clambering over burned-out ruins.”MoreLess
