Patience jerked, then ran for the shed, calling “Be quiet, be quiet!” in an urgent voice, glancing frantically over her shoulder.

The door of the house jerked open, slamming against the wall within, and a large man wearing nothing but unfastened breeches came out, a leather belt in his hand and fury on his face.

“Mr. Fredericks! Please, please - come back! The girls didn’t mean to - “

Without a second’s hesitation, Mr. Fredericks turned and slapped the woman behind him across the face with his belt.
