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, she would come down and take off her father's boots. 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?
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.
You can make a cushion as a gift for your father's birthday
It was for your b-b-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.
You must be taught once and for all!
Her grandmother tried to comfort her, but all in vain.
