  After a glass of water, she walked silently as she could into the back sitting room. She had confidence: this little hole couldn't be as bad as the dark cellar; she had been braver than the cellar. She turned the torch on – it worked! – the bulb hadn't smashed – and pointed it down at the tip of a tail disappearing. The shriek she gave surprised and then embarrassed her. Her hands jumped to her face and the torch was now shining in a pale circle on the ceiling, but in the instant before this she had seen something other than the tail. She wasn't sure she could bear to look into the hole again, although she was almost certain she wouldn't see eyes looking back. It had been little black dots, probably droppings. 'Oh my God,' she said, and was glad to hear herself speak. She let her hands cascade down her sides, flop. The torch shone into the hole, and there the droppings were. They looked small – too small to be ratshit. And the tail, she talked convincingly to herself, the tail had been too thin for a rat.
  When she took a step backwards, she could feel blood sloshing around in her feet, like water in Wellington boots. A bit dizzy, she helped herself over to the sofa – touching one of the cardboard boxes they were using until they bought a coffee table. Once she had sat down, Agatha realised she was immensely happy; she had been, for a little while, so completely, fantastically distracted. She hadn't thought about, and here she started to cry; she hadn't thought about it at all.
  When Paddy got home, she hugged him harder than she had been planning to. 'Come here,' she said, taking his non-umbrella-holding hand. A definite march across to the hole in the floor, picking up the torch from the arm of the sofa. Click and shining it down into. 'What are those?'

conversations.value: It was only when she got back upstairs into the kitchen that Agatha began to feel truly discomfited, or to recognise the discomfort that had all along been there inside her. The discovery of no cause for the scrape, just as there had been none for the breathing, had been reassuring at first, but now the idea began to reveal its horrors.
  AGATHA woke up unafraid and felt, as a result, that it would be affected to start working herself towards terror again. The scrape was just another fact about the house she must get used to: the line of rationality had already been crossed with believing in the breathing. Hopefully, Paddy would be back that evening, so she wouldn't be alone with the house – although already she was starting not to care so much. She made breakfast, toast from slightly stale bread; the milk had run out so she had her tea black. There was enough food for a couple of days, were Paddy not to come home, as long as she was prepared to eat tinned. She got the vacuum cleaner out and tried to persuade herself she wasn't doing noisy housework so as to avoid hearing another scrape. Mid-afternoon, Agatha's mother arrived unexpectedly with Max; Agatha was glad she'd spent those hours making the house perfect – almost as if it could be placated by her care of it. As the day was dry and warmish, they went and sat in the garden – it would have seemed strange if they hadn't; and although her mother couldn't know for certain she still hadn't been out of the house, Agatha felt she was proving something by entertaining them here. The question of milk was bound to come up as soon as Agatha's mother said yes to tea. Aggie hoped she would be able to persuade her to go and buy some, leaving her alone with Max. It worked out better than this, though: 'I want to do some shopping, anyway,' said her mother. 'I've hardly been able to get anything done, since I had him.'

conversations.value: It could have ended there, the conversation; they were reconciled enough, at least for the time being. But Aggie still felt she had to say, 'I hated you so much.' Paddy had known but hadn't expected this. He didn't reply. 'And it was impossible you didn't hate me, too. I treated you despicably.'
  The truth of this was hardest for Paddy to accept, not its excessiveness – though it was far beyond the comfort of usual conversation.
  She picked up Max and took Paddy's hand, although he would have to let go when he locked the house behind them.
  Agatha stepped onto the garden path, carrying Max; Paddy followed after, hand almost touching her shoulder. They were a family, vulnerable but also a world in themselves; not cohesive in any way apart from love: damaged, repaired, continuing.
  With which at last I give them all three entirely to you – they will need your protection, now, and even more, your imagination; without it, they are strong but stuck, can exist but lack: let them live a while longer, forget them slowly.
