Early 1919
We arrived at Havisham House about a fortnight later.
I had chosen not to fight Mr. Haughton's decision. In truth, I was delighted that he would finally be out of our lives. However, seeing the look on my little son's face broke my heart.
Unlike me, the boys do not know humble beginnings.
"Mom, are we going home soon?"
Letting our a sigh, I replied.
"This is our home now William."

Early 1919
My sweet sister Corinne greeted us. I very much look forward to being around her once more. It was only just last week she let me know that she is to be married soon.
"It is so wonderful to be back home near you Corinne" I told her as we took a stroll. "I very much look forward to meeting your future husband."
"I have missed you dearly, Maddie. Truth be told though, you have long since known him. I am marrying Ben O'Connell." Hesitantly she went on. "I-I just did not want to tell you earlier… there were so much going on."
If she was afraid of my reaction she had no reason to be, for I was very delighted. At one point I may have wished to marry him myself, but that I am no longer the same person.
Late 1918
The service was held at the very same church were Patrick and I married so long ago. I can scarcely believe how young and naive I was back then. Thinking that marrying Patrick would solve our problems. Still, I cannot say that I regret any of it.
I had some lovely years with Patrick and he has given me the two most wonderful sons.
Fall, 1916.
Ben told me the details of how Patrick had fought bravely til the end, but that the enemy had overpowered him.
"Thank you, Ben. Truly. I appreciate your honesty."
"You're welcome. I only wish I had better news, Madeline. I pray this damned war is soon over. Too many good men have already been lost. It's a lottery, I tell you! It almost seems as if the watcher is rolling a dice."
I worry about Violet. She is not well and I do not know how to help her. Some days it is as if she has forgotten than Patrick is gone.
"How many times must I tell you this, Patrick! You should always wipe your feet. I do not want mud in the house!"
"Grandma? It's me, William."
"Patrick, I don't want to hear it!"
"Violet?..... William, go get cleaned up"
"Yes, mom".

Summer, 1916.
The boys and I spent most of the summer in Brindleton with my family. My mother has not been feeling well recently, but I do believe our company cheered her up.
It was a wonderful change of scenery, not to mention the help of my sisters when it came to the boys was very much appreciated. I love them with all my heart, but the watcher knows they can be a handful.
"Violet… Patrick is gone… remember?
"Yes, he went to get cleaned up."
"No, that's William - your grandson. We lost Patrick two years ago… in the war."
"We lost Patrick?"
"We did. I'm so sorry."
"My son is gone?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
It is strange to think that I once despised this woman. I have nothing but love and empathy for her now. I wish I could take away her pain, but I know that I can never make up for the loss of a child.
Since losing Patrick, my whole world revolves around the boys. I often thank the watcher for giving me such sweet, healthy children.
William has grown into the most gentle child a mother could hope for and little Francis adores everything about him.
I see so much of Patrick in both of them and it breaks my heart that they will never know their father.
