The broken sentences between the sobs were plainly audible.
Carrying the dish out through the back door she emptied it into the cats' pan, fervently wishing that John and Mary Darcy and old Yellownose could dispose of it all without being made ill. Long ago she had learned to do her sums in the sand. Now she stooped down and with the handle of her spoon scratched some figures in the path.
