““Now you all know I love each and every one you,” he said. “But for now you have to go stay with someone else. She’s a very nice lady, and there are lots of mummies there to take care of you. Don’t worry, I’ll come visit all the time.” Four of Meyer’s girls patrolled the hallway ensuring the saplings behaved. “Now come and give Daddy a hug,” he said, bending to hug a tiny boy who was so busy pulling apart a scrap of cloth that he barely noticed Meyer. “Now don’t be rude,” Meyer said, snatching ...the cloth away. “Give me a hug.” The boy began crying and reaching for the cloth, but before returning it, Meyer held it out of his reach until the sapling hugged him. The boy wiped his teary face and toddled along looking appeased but not entirely happy. What an ungrateful little snot. Meyer should have just let him rot in a Confinement somewhere. The other nine children all gave him hugs, some of them with tearstained faces and some with big smiles and some with somber eyes, depending on their age and inklings of the significance of the move.MoreLessRead More Read Less
