Kezia always considered her father a figure to be feared. Until he leaves for office, she is always scared. After she hears the sound of the carriage becoming fainter, she relaxes.
Thank God, he's leaving!
I am leaving for work
In the evening, her mom would ask her to be a good girl and take off her father's boots. She would come down, slowly, scared of him. She never stuttered in front of anyone, except for her father.
Kezia, have you been a good girl today?
I d-d-don't know, father
On Sunday afternoons, her grandmother would send her to the drawing room to spend time with her parents, but she always found her dad sleeping and her mom reading
zzzzzzzz.......
Really?
Once when she was indoors sick, her grandmother suggested that she gift her father a pin cushion for his birthday. But, instead of filling it with usual things, she filled it with papers she found on her mom's bed-table. Little did she know that it would lead her into trouble.
You can make a pin cushion as a gift for your father's birthday
After her father came back from work, she came to know that those papers were her dad's important speeches. She was spanked by her dad to be taught a lesson.
It was for your b-b-birthday
You must be taught once and for all!
Her grandmother tried to comfort her, but all in vain.
