The Stonecutter
“Her new identity still took precedence over the person she had once been. With each passing year her bitterness grew, and the life she had lived before Anders seemed more like a distant dream. Had she really worn fine dresses, played the piano at elegant parties, and had suitors who competed to dance with her? Above all, was there actually a time when she could eat as much food and sweets as she liked?
She had inquired about her father, and to her satisfaction she heard that he was a broken... man. He now lived alone in the big house and went out only to go to work. That pleased Agnes; she harbored a faint hope that he might take her back if his life had turned sufficiently miserable. But the years passed and nothing happened, and that hope was fading.
The boys were now four years old and completely incorrigible. They ran wild around the neighborhood, as small as they were, and Agnes had neither the desire nor the energy to discipline them properly.MoreLess
