About this Book
Clara nodded her gratitude. “Thank you for listening to me and not—I don’t know—telling me to keep my chin up or something.”
“Of course, darling.” Becca stood up and gave Clara a hug. “I’ll go help Hetty prepare the table. In the meantime, go wash your face. We’ll see you soon, okay?” With that, Becca patted Clara on the shoulder and left the room.
Clara sat still for another moment, savoring the feeling of being told what to do, along with the pat on her shoulder that encouraged her to actually do it.
She missed her mother during times like these, and she couldn’t even ask for help by post. All her mother would do was worry, and what was the point in that? Just to spread the angst? No, Mrs. Herling had bigger things to worry about, Clara knew, so she let her mother continue thinking that all was well with her eldest daughter, the celebrated Land Girl.
