This is probably the mischief of fate.
In the evening, returning to the dilapidated shack, Isaac Taylor opened the bag to check its contents and found a pack of biscuits that had been torn open. The bag was stuffed full to the brim, feeling hard and stiff.

The Morelands, men and women, young and old, were all present, including Ava Moreland's family, and the distinguished guest, Grace Adams.

Amelia Clarke sat beside her, leaning against the back of the sofa, occasionally listening to Grace Adams chat with Grace Moreland and Lynette Moreland, while her gaze wandered onto the screen of Mia's mobile phone to watch a muted film.
