She ran up through the yard. The family's goose gave its alarm call as she sped through the yard and up the outside steps that led to the tack room and the storage room for flour and seasonal fruit. There she threw herself onto a pile of hessian sacks and sobbed to herself. She wanted to die. Even worse, she wished the baby inside her would die. She curled up and rocked her body. What was she to do? She had nowhere to go. Nobody would give a pregnant lass house-room; not even the workhouse would want her. The cat that had been asleep in the window stretched its back and yawned, showing all its discoloured teeth, before walking casually across to her and winding its body round her arms, nudging its head against hers. Daisy pulled it towards her and held the furry, purring body close, stroking the cat's chin, as it appreciated being loved.
'Smoky, what am I going to do? I wish I could die.' Tears poured down on the grey fur of the cat as it purred its sympathy. 'I wish I'd never set eyes on Clifford Middleton. Look what he's done to me!'
