....are you sure  you are coming with me  and  manage all my business  asked Mrs Bruce  looking at  mabal her daughter  , in all seriousness,  she couldn't believe what  mabal had said, she was all packed up and neatly ready with her hair tidy, instead of her usual  disturbed perturbed  irritated look she appeared perfectly calm and stable 

Mrs Bruce inaudibly thanked Catherine  her bitter experience  did wonders  that  Mrs Bruce  s long lectures couldn't have  taught  mabal,  she was reformed,  transformed,  the car started  with Mrs Bruce and mabal   driving out of sight  as Catherine stood watching them disappear,  Karon carrying her bag asked  what next,  how will they live now 

Catherine winding up the kitchen said she had found another job , well paid  and Karon won't have to do anything  except be completely comfortable
