War Orphans
“Joanna was far from it.
The policeman at the station was very kind.
‘Here you are. Cup of hot cocoa to warm you up. You were lucky Mr Sanderson found you. It was a cold night last night and likely to be even colder tonight.’ Even though she’d eaten a hearty breakfast, Joanna took the mug gratefully, her thank you barely audible. Her eyes remained downcast.
PC Crow was surprised that his jovial manner had not raised a smile on her pretty face. He was famous as being able to bring a smile to the ...solemnest.
Undaunted, and slightly miffed she hadn’t responded as expected, he tried again. ‘I expect your mum will be worried out of her mind you going off like that.’ The little girl’s eyes flickered. Was it his imagination or had her face turned whiter than white?
Not all kids had good homes but not all admitted it. He prided himself on winning kids over, gaining their trust and getting at the truth of their home lives. To this end he bent low so his face was level with hers.
