Q
Summary
A
- Reggie nearly fainted when she first recognized Dr. Hunter back at the house. She’s overwhelmed by relief and horror. Dr. Hunter is barefoot and still wearing her work suit, walking “like a heroine, a warrior queen.” Sadie capers around, puppy-like with happiness, and the baby laughs at the sight. Reggie hugs the baby.
- When they reach the house, Joanna, Reggie, and the baby cut through the hedge and sneak up the back stairs, avoiding the police. Reggie gives the baby a bath while Joanna showers.
-When they all emerge downstairs, clean and dressed, the police are stupefied. Joanna asks Reggie to put the kettle on. While they all have tea, Joanna keeps saying that she doesn’t remember what’s happened. Reggie heads off with her backpack full of bloodstained clothes.
