“It’s here, it’s here!” squealed the youngest and most excitable of the Turner children, running from the kitchen to the parlour where her mother was reading Le Morte D’Arthur to the other children.
“What’s here, Mary?” Elizabeth asked.
Estrella put her head around the door. “Begging your pardon, Mrs Turner, but the butcher just delivered the goose. You did ask me to inform you.”
“Oh yes, thank you. I’ll join you in the kitchen directly.” Elizabeth dropped the book and clapped her hands, looking just like a little girl herself. This, for her, always heralded the beginning of Christmas. “Johnny, run and fetch your papa from the smithy. It’s time he stopped working! And Estrella? When you lay the table for dinner tomorrow, set an extra place. I have a feeling a friend of ours might turn up.”
