Chapter 6 Just the Usual
It was rather a sad little procession.
Even Nip was quiet. Mary-Anne was worrying about what Mother would say.She still hadn't done the potatoes and it was so late. Muffin, of course, slept on.
They turned out of the High Street into the narrow, cobbled lane.
When they reached Mary-Anne's gate, she opened it very quietly.
They crept in one by one, leaving Nip outside.
The yard was empty. The back door was still open but they could hear no sound.
"Mother's gone out to look for me," gasped Mary-Anne. "Now I'm in trouble."
"Go and check," said Josh. Mary-Anne went indoors.
Josh took Muffin out of the pram and put him to sleep in the sun.
Then he gave the shawl and bonnet a good shake and pegged them back on the line.
Mary-Anne appeared in the doorway looking puzzled.
"They're asleep," he whispered. "Even Mother! She's fast asleep."
"Get the dinner ready then," said Harry. Under his hedgehog hair, he had brains.
Very quietly, they peeled the potatoes and put a pot of water to boil on the big cooking range.
Mary-Anne was not allowed to put coal in the stove, so Harry did it.Soon, they felt the whole kitchen warming up.
