Saturday, 28 March 1812
Josiah entered the shadowy room. Narrow shafts of light pierced crevices between the closed window coverings to guide his path. A lifelong exposure to harshness and volatility induced the hesitance that encumbered each protracted step. He paused, and one hand smoothed his hair, dishevelled from his travel. His nostrils crinkled. The musty air that pervaded his mother’s room combined with the cloying fragrance her maid applied each morning to assail his senses. He breathed through his mouth and took his usual seat. Soon the smell would no longer be noticeable. He raised his eyes with a smile. “Good day, Mother. I had a successful trip to town.”
In the faint illumination, Mother’s eyes resembled flinty slits. “So you are home at last. London—always London! You must find a way to work closer to home.”
He gnashed his teeth. That old complaint again! With several measured breaths, he managed a calm, even tone. “We have reviewed this topic many times. It cannot be helped. This work is much too risky to carry out close to home. The important point is that I have rid England of another sinner. You may rejoice that a blight upon this world has been eliminated.”
