Oh, it was the mother. It was the mother. She must have been the really dangerous one.
My intention here was to get another point of view in this book about the Barton’s mother, and I saw that this could come from Tommy as he watched the fury with which Pete Barton broke down that sign. I do not like to press a reader’s face into serious abusive situations, and so it came to me that through dear Tommy we could perhaps entertain the thought that in fact Lucy and Pete and Vicky’s mother had been the really dangerous one.
