Welcome to the Laws Family Register.
================================================================
The flight of
steps led steeply up the cliff, firstly between the cottages, then between high
walls behind which secret gardens hummed with honeybees, when they reached the
top they came to the old church and its surrounding graveyard.
Emma sat on an
old stone to catch her breath, and suddenly got that feeling that she was being
watched, all the hairs on the back of her neck prickled, and those on the cat
stood up and it started to growl angrily deep in its throat. She looked around
but saw no one, but the feeling remained, then looking deep into the shadows
she perceived a pair of shining amber eyes watching her, which promptly
disappeared.
Emma looked
around for the owner of those eyes but could not find them. It was then that
she saw a paw print at the edge of a puddle. It was huge, not that of the cat,
which was still sat where, they had stopped but that of an animal much larger
altogether.
Turning to the
cat she said, ”Did you see that?” The cat replied with a knowing “Meow” and
suddenly dashed off down the steps. At which moment, she heard someone clearing
their throat as if about to speak and turning back, she saw a boy with a bunch
of flowers kneeling by a gravestone, only yards from her.
“Hello” he
said quietly, “I’m William.”
Emma smiled
and replied “Yes I know, my dad told me, who are the flowers for?”
“Just friends,
well, your great uncle and aunt actually, Look this is their grave.”
“Emma looked
and saw that the stone was engraved with their names, Robert Nelson, R. N. and
his wife Louise, late of this parish. They stood up and walked to the steps,
and as they descended to the village below they chatted and laughed as if they
had known each other for always.
When Emma
returned to Captains Row she found her mother just getting out of the car and
her father struggling with her bags. Mary bustled around everyone, as ever the
mother hen, everyone too excited to take in what Emma had to tell, she was of
course, pleased to find her mother had arrived, but disappointed to see that
she had her left foot in plaster and walked with the aid of crutches. Later she
discovered that her mother had tripped over their pet cat at home.
