GMT Q4. Chapter 14-18

Dear Mister Tom

I miss you and Little Weirwold. Do you remember how you told me that it might be awkward for a couple of days, before we warmed up to each other again? I know that my mother and I have been apart from each other for almost six months, but I don't know why she has been so cold and so... so... I can only say, so violent with me.

Before I came to Little Weirwold, I knew that Mum was kind. She gave me softer beatings than other mothers, she taught me that answering back was bad, she knew that worshipping God was right and that being a sinner was wrong. But now I feel as though everything she taught me, compared to what you and Little Weirwold have given me is simply not right.

Please tell Zach that I am sorry, but Mum has probably burned his epic poem. Also, if him and George and Carrie are worrying, please tell them not to worry. I hope that they will be happy with the play and the choir and the expedition to Spooky Cott.

God bless you, Mister Tom.

From Will
