To her humiliation Jessamy found there were tears trickling down her cheeks.
Through the open front door ran Jessamy, down the steps to where Kitto was sitting at the bottom with the pram beside him.
Jessamy looked round her in a puzzled way, but there was nothing to see but the pale oblong of what looked like a star-pierced sky behind the bars of the nursery window.
