Every night? Mud or not, I felt cleaner than I’d ever been.
Supper was something called soup, that came in bowls. You were supposed to drink it from
spoons.
Jamie refused to eat at all if you want to go to bed hungry you certainly may.
Soup is all I’ve made and soup is all there is to eat.
This was a lie and we all knew it. Her cupboard held all sorts of food.
Jamie got to bed hungry.
At night he cried into his pillow and in the morning he’d wet the bed again.
On Tuesday she didn't even get out of bed, so I fed Jamie and me.
On monday she made meals for us but nothing else.
I’ve abandoned you ,she said without moving. I told Lady Thorton I’m not fit to care for

was all sorts of stuff I guessed had to do with Becky and her horses.
If you pick up a bridle which is the leather stuff that goes around the horse's head.
I Found a sort of square thing on a shelf. It had pieces of paper covered in writing and it also
had a drawing of a horse's head with the leather pieces.
I kicked him a bit because I discovered this would make him move, I pulled on one side of
the reins and he turned. I pulled on both and he stopped.
