But I can\u2019t keep out of it. I can\u2019t always let mum suffer like that. I have to help. That\u2019s when I argue with him. When he hits you hard, you just don\u2019t argue anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat about moving home?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to! Of course! But how can I move? I\u2019m eighteen, I\u2019m an apprentice watch maker! I can\u2019t afford to move.\u201d<\/p>\n AuntSylvie takes HayWire on a short walk to see NurseCathy again.<\/p>\n \u201cCathy, meet our new night warden, please show HayWire to his quarters. HayWire, the night warden just has to be here, he can sleep throughout the night, although officially he\u2019s on call if he\u2019s ever needed. A night warden really doesn\u2019t do much at all. You can work your day job as normal, and tomorrow we\u2019ll sort out a flexible rota for you. Peter\u2019s been doing it on his own for weeks now, and he\u2019ll be delighted to have a new coworker!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWelcome to your new home.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need to catch up with Mike for a moment, and then I\u2019ll come along to Baden Powell House, the junior staff block, to answer all your questions. We\u2019ll probably be able to chat with one or two of the others if you want to make some new friends. Cathy will make sure you have everything you need right now, and I\u2019ll be with you again in a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page321 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page321 \u2013 Next \u201cEvery time it happens I try to persuade them to cut down.
