‘Martha is too old to bring up a child. If I don’t make it home, will you take care of Sarah? It’s a lot to ask of you, I am aware of that. You are young and deserve a life and a family of your own but I have to know that Sarah will be alright and there is no one I trust more than you to take care of her.’ ‘Oh, David, of course I will but you will come home and we will care for her together.’
