Nora had never thought that she would look forward to going to school, but home was so strange that she wanted to be where things might be the same as they had been before the accident. Everybody called it “the accident” or “the terrible accident”, and it was easier to say that than to say “the day Dada died”. But no matter what they called it Nora felt that home was a different place since then. Mom and Peter and herself were like strangers to each other because they were all changed. Mom was gone silent. Instead of being busy and keeping things moving as she always had, she sat looking into space, with no interest in what went on around her. It frightened Nora to see her like that. Peter was grumpy and sullen and Nora knew that he cried in bed at night. One night when she woke up terrified after dreaming that she was back on the road behind the trap, she had crept along to his room. Just as she put her hand on the knob of the door she heard him sobbing.
